@PashaPodolsky What would you like to know?

As a start, Mailers work like controllers, setting up locals (instance variables) to pass on to templates to be filled. I've got maildown in the Gemfile to allow us to have some "pretty" HTML e-mails just using markdown. So you can still use ERB in the Markdown templates, and you can look at the custom devise mails in app/views/user_mailer.

@mlfreer If you want me to implement this, could you get from Ginny what she would like for standard mail texts for invitations and refresh?

If Pasha gets to it sooner, I'd just create an ExperimentSessionMailer or whatever, and define actions inside for invite and refresh. Then, markdown/ERB templates would go in app/views/experiment_session_mailer.

Lastly, you'll want to call these mailers in some fashion, probably from a controller action under experiments and administration dashboard, respectively. See section 2.10.
