I would like to add a from and a link in the title of the email but dont know where the view is to edit it or where to generate it. Thanks.

Answer 1

Check your server logs. They should be placed in app/views/message_mailer/new_message_email.html.erb , etc

Answer 2

You can check this tutorial for custom views .

Controller

def index
  @inbox ||= current_user.mailbox.inbox
end 

View

<% @inbox.each do |conversation| %>
  <%= conversation.originator.username%>
  <%= link_to  raw(truncate(strip_tags(conversation.subject), :length => 15)), conversation_path(conversation) %> 
  <%= link_to "", {:controller => "conversations", :action => "trash", :id => conversation.id}, :title=> "Move to Trash", :method=>'post', data: { confirm: '¿Estas seguro?' }, :class=> "btn btn btn-danger icon-remove" %>
  <%= conversation.updated_at%>
<% end %>

then create a show.html.erb to see the full message.
