env | grep RUBY

you're probably activating rubygems via your environment. Your script =
should have:

require "rubygems"

before requiring your email gem.

Then you're prolly using a different ruby in cron than on cmdline. Use full p=

It's probably "env-related"

Look at:

For debugging, run "env" in a shell and at cron and see the differences.
