Ruby on Rails

You don't (really) want a GET action to result in a DELETE, though, so I would recommend that rather than try to make the link in the e-mail delete the record immediately, take the user to a regular page, where you can construct a POST to DELETE, in the usual Rails manner (method: :delete). That gives a person a chance to reconsider, too, in case they fat-fingered the link in a mobile e-mail client.
