Rails: attachments.inline[] in mail

I am looking for displaying company logo in the email when email is sent. I went thought action mailer base and there is attachment inline feature which supports images in mail.

I implemented it in this way:

in user_mailer.rb

def welcome_email(user)
@user = user
 @url  = "http://mealnut.com"
  attachments.inline['mealnut.png']

mail(:to => user.email, :subject => "Mealnut: New Order #{order.id}")
end

in config/application.rb:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "mealnut.com" }

in welcome_email.html.web

  <div class="logo">
          <%= image_tag attachments['mealnut.png'].url, :alt => 'Mealnut', :class => 'photo' %>
  </div>

But it is giving error:

undefined method `url' for nil:NilClass

Whats going wrong?

attachments and inline attachments differs only that inline will insert it via base64 but you need to attach a file anyhow to it!

  attachments.inline['mealnut.png'] = File.read( Rails.root.join("app/some/path/","mealnut.png") )

than you are able to reference it in the view

hope that helped!
