Ruby on Rails

Hey,

I'm Swift, one of the developer evangelists over at SendGrid.  Sorry
that we didn't get back to you on our support channel - we get a high
volume of requests and sometimes things slip through the cracks.

Your problem is that you're using a deprecated syntax for composing
the email. The preferred method is to use the mail function:

def
registration_confirmation(user)·
mail(:from => 'Foo
<info@foo.com>',
:subject => "Welcome to Foo,
#{user.first_name}!",
:to => "#{user.first_name} <#{user.email}
>")
end

You can find the docs for ActionMailer here:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html

They're pretty extensive and definitely worth the read.

Let me know if you have any more issues!
