+Action Mailer is a framework for designing email service layers. These layers
+are used to consolidate code for sending out forgotten passwords, welcome wishes
+on signup, invoices for billing, and any other use case that requires a written
+notification to either a person or another system.
+
+Action Mailer is in essence a wrapper around Action Controller and the Mail gem.
+It provides a way to make emails using templates in the same way that Action
+Controller renders views using templates.
+
+Additionally, an Action Mailer class can be used to process incoming email, such
+as allowing a blog to accept new posts from an email (which could even have been
+sent from a phone).
