Rails - Install multiple layouts for multi-page email with mailing templates

Question

So, Rails 2.2 added mailing list layouts, which is great, except that I can't figure out how to make them work when I send a multi-page email address ... it wraps my mail content with the same layout for text / plain and text / html version. I want my layout to bypass either just the text / html version, or have the ability to have a separate layout for each.

Has anyone come across this? I have not seen mention of this elsewhere,

Add this code to the environment.rb file so that the mail client does not apply layouts to text email messages. He also has a check that will not allow him to contradict the exception notification plugin.

# Do not use the mailer layout template for plain text emails module ActionMailer class Base private def candidate_for_layout?(options) (!options[:file] || !options[:file].respond_to?(:content_type) || options[:file].content_type != 'text/plain') && !@template.send(:_exempt_from_layout?, default_template_name) end end end
