I would suggest using the mail gem. ActionMailer in rails 3 uses it under the hood and it works with 1.9.2 and jruby and there is loads of good documentation here: https://github.com/mikel/mail

Code example: 

Mail.deliver do
   from     '[email protected]'
   to       '[email protected]'
   subject  'Here is the image you wanted'
   body     File.read('body.txt')
   add_file '/full/path/to/somefile.png'
end

Something else you might want to consider is using Sendgrid or Amazon SES to send email for you, they have all of the infrastructure already in place and ensure excellent deliverability.
