In general, don't use threads in Rails. Use a single thread per process and use background workers to do stuff like this. Popular workers include delayed_job and resque.

In delayed_job:

SomeMailer.delay.deliver_method(stuff)

In Resque:

class DeliverStuff
  @queue = :mail

  def self.perform(stuff)
    SomeMailer.deliver_method(stuff)
  end
end

# elsewhere
Resque.enqueue(DeliverStuff, stuff)
