+## Sent emails
+
+To view rendered emails "sent" in your development instance, visit
+[`/rails/letter_opener`](http://localhost:3000/rails/letter_opener).
+
+## Mailer previews
+
+Rails provides a way to preview our mailer templates in HTML and plaintext using
+dummy data.
+
+The previews live in [`spec/mailers/previews`][previews] and can be viewed at
+[`/rails/mailers`](http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers).
+
+See the [Rails guides] for more info.
