Actionmailer.receive not creating TMail object

Hi,

I am experimenting with receiving email with actionmailer via getmail (as described in the Rails Cookbook). The receiving part is working like a charm but when I check the class of the email object from inside the receive method I get a string instead of a TMail object, as I was expecting. Which means I can't do fancy stuff like email.subject. I have no idea what's wrong. I'm haven't used Actionmailer much, so I might be just misunderstanding something.

Here's my Actionmailer class:

<code> class Importer < ActionMailer::Base   def self.receive(email)     logger.info "Received mail #{email.class}"   end end </code>
