[rspec-users] oddness with messages_path

D'ho! Exactly right. I am still mystified by the way in which this
fails but the problem is indeed that I needed to use
message_path. That works with (message) and with (message.id). 

And this is Rails 3.1.3 and rspec 2.7.0, rspec-core 2.7.1, and
rspec-rails 2.7.0.
