I tried to decouple the receiving of a ticket from the further processing using observers.

For that I added an observer to tickets:

class TicketObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
  def after_create(ticket)
   puts ticket.from
        end
end

This works fine when adding a new ticket through the browser. However when I send an email to my application I'll get the following exception:

To me it looks like the observer is the wrong idea to handle further processing. However as I envision it to be rather complex I wanted to decouple it from the receiving part of the application.

Can someone help me out with the observer problem or suggest a better method to do it?
