Hi Manasi,

We have a bit of both, sometimes we can test email sending with Cucumber 
+ Webrat, but in this particular case, the feature that sent out emails 
also used Javascript.

We could have split the feature in two, one to test the Javascript with 
a Selenium feature and one to test the emails with a Webrat feature, but 
IMHO adding a couple of steps to the selenium feature to check for 
emails, is a good choice to help to clearly see the whole intent of the 
feature.
