I did it to add specs to restful_authentication plugin, it uses an  
observer to send mail on signup/activation.

For the observer, I choosed to get it by calling  
UserObserver.instance and then spec from that with a mock User  
object. (cf: http://jonathan.tron.name/files/user_observer_spec.v2.rb)

For the mailer, I choosed to spec based on the different mailer  
actions and what UserNotifier.create_my_action returns. (cf: http:// 
jonathan.tron.name/files/user_notifier_spec.v2.rb)

I'm not sure it's the right way to go, especially for the mailer  
part, so feel free to correct my mistakes.
