Hmmm... I just checked as I am doing just about the same thing. Your code
looks ok, the only difference with mine is I am naming the class variable
@body_text. I am wondering if @body for you might be getting renamed
somewhere? Its a long shot but try renaming the variable. Also, you can put
a break point inside the mailer view I think ---  <%= debugger; @body %>....
then you can really see what is getting in there.
