== Remote Alternatives

Letter Opener uses {Launchy}[https://github.com/copiousfreetime/launchy] to open sent mail in the browser. This assumes the Ruby process is running on the local development machine. If you are using a separate staging server or VM this will not work. In that case consider using {Mailtrap}[http://mailtrap.io/] or {MailCatcher}[http://mailcatcher.me/].

In order to keep this project simple, I don't have plans to turn it into a Rails engine with an interface for browsing the sent mail. However it would be awesome if someone wants to release that as a separate gem, perhaps called `remote_letter_opener`.
