Greetings.

I am trying to use Erb to process a plain-text template. Following the RDo=
c
documentation at
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/erb/rdoc/classes/ERB.html, I can't ge=
t
the first plain-text example to work. ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25)
[i686-linux]. Below[1] is the actual sample script which isn't working
(it's not finding the local variables when processing the template). Any
ideas what's going on here? Thanks.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Hmm, has ERB stopped defaulting to a top-level binding?

email = message.result

Change that to:

email = message.result(binding)

Can someone please patch the docs for me?
