How to send attached tar.gz file on ruby mail sending. If anyone aware already, please let me know.

Better to use pastie (http://pastie.org/) and post url here.

You could either look into sending it as a MIME attachment (see the ActionMailer docs), or put it in a subdirectory of public/ on your app server and include a URL.

However, you should also consider that unless your recipients are OSX/ Linux users, they're going to need extra software to open the file, as Windows doesn't support those formats natively.
