Finally solved the problem. Even though the application is Rails
2.3.5 it was started on a much earlier version and the view files were
using the old rhtml extensions. The newer auto format detection uses
html.erb, or in the case of the mailer, likes
file_name.text.html.erb. All I had to do was rename the view files
and the specifications passed. Not sure why the application ran fine
with the old file name extensions whereas controller spec's failed,
but at least it is now working.
