+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 weblog to accept new posts from an email (which could even
+have been sent from a phone).
+
+This is for Ruby on Rails 6.1.
