How do I attach an inline image to a rails 4.2 mailer using paperclip?

I'm using rails 4.2 and use paperclip to handle my image uploads. I am trying to attach the image from my model to an email. Per the Rails guides I have my mailer like so

def sub_conversion_email(user, blend)
    @user = user
    @blend = blend
    attachments.inline[@blend.image.original_filename] = File.read(@blend.image.url(:medium))
    mail(to: @user.email, subject: "A subject...")
  end

Then in my mailer view I have

<%= image_tag attachments[@blend.image.original_filename].url %>

For some reason I'm getting the error No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /system/blends/images/000/000/015/medium/filename.jpg

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

So thanks to Taryn East pointing out that I needed to use path instead of url in the File.read(), it is working. The only thing is that in the mailer preview, it won't show the image. When I inspect the image, its src is cid:........................mycomputer.mail. When I actually send the email, it works just fine. Anyone know how to get it to show in the mailer preview?
