String conversion
I would look to existing libraries to see how they solve the problem. Stack Overflow is OK, but I find that the "one liner" solutions you find there often oversimplify. There is a popular, and currently maintained, Rubygem library called Mail that includes a class for quoted printable, which in turn provides a class method for decoding quoted printable strings.

Ruby's Email Address Regexp
There are basically three levels of address checking:
1) You need to validate an email field for login or a website - checking for an @ mark with some text before and at least one . after the @ will do for this.
2) You need to do some sort of address validation, library regexps like this will do for 99.9...% of these.
3) You are building an email handling system which needs to actually support the RFCs, in which case regexp will not handle what you need, and you need to use a proper parser, like https://github.com/mikel/mail/tree/master/lib/mail/parsers
Ref: I am the original author of the Ruby mail gem.

Need Help With Using If Condition.
Email addresses have a lot of gotchas that can make rolling your own logic hard. I haven't used Ruby in a while but there are gems like Mail that can help validating email addresses easier.

Unleash Devise-Enabling All Modules
If you input a valid email of the users you created in the system and submit the form. A POST request to http://localhost:3000/users/password will be made. Then a reset password mail as described in the previous section will be sent out. You can find that mail in the terminal running rails server. If you have a gem like letter_opener, you can see that mail shown in your browser.

Using Action Mailer to Send Emails from a Rails App
Another great option is to use the letter opener gem. This is a great tool to use in development, because instead of the app actually sending the email, instead it opens a new tab on your browser with the email view. This is really helpful to see what is going on with the email as it happens. If you are using the letter opener gem, you would need to install it:
