Sends mail via a MailController (a tutorial can be found in the MailController docs).

send_mail FooMailer, :bar, :from => "foo@bar.com", :to => "baz@bat.com"

would send an email via the FooMailer’s bar method.

The mail_params hash would be sent to the mailer, and includes items like from, to subject, and cc. See Merb::MailController#dispatch_and_deliver for more details.

The send_params hash would be sent to the MailController, and is available to methods in the MailController as params. If you do not send any send_params, this controller’s params will be available to the MailController as params
