resque needs redis running all the time. that's the daemon in question. queue_classic only needs the database.

premailer can generate plain-text emails.

We just went through the painful process of sending fancy html emails on Rails 3.1 a month ago. The CSS in our emails even have media queries so they look right on mobile devices. We used premailer-rails3, but it needed a lot of patching before it worked properly.
