Parsing an email message w Clip - perhaps without a tempfile?

Question

My rails 3 app on heroku receives incoming emails. I want to be able to accept attachments, but I cannot get rails to handle attachments without errors.

It would be ideal to pass the attachment provided by ActionMailer.

message_all = Mail.new(params[:message])
 message_all.attachments.each do |a|
 attachments.each do |a|
 .attachments.build(
   :attachment => a
  )
 end
end

These are errors with: NoMethodError (undefined methodrewinding for #) `Where attachments are a model, with attachments are a clip

Ideas y? Is there any other way to pass the attachment = a, bond?

I tried a different approach by creating tempfile:

tempfile = File.new("#{Rails.root.to_s}/tmp/#{a.filename}", "w+")
tempfile << a.body
tempfile.puts
attachments.build(
:attachment => File.open(tempfile.path) )

The problem with tempfile is that files without the blah extension instead of blah.png break the clip, so I want to avoid a temporary file. and by creating Identity errors, imagemagick does not know what they do not have.

Thank you so much for any advice on this.

, :

file = StringIO.new(attachment)
file.class.class_eval { attr_accessor :original_filename, :content_type }
file.original_filename = attachment.filename
file.content_type = attachment.mime_type
