I've noticed this pattern and was just curious if anyone knows the story behind the "Action" or "Active" prefix to classes such as Action Mailer, Action Text or Active Record?

Why does Rails component classes start with the prefix "Action" or "Active"?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Active - Means it's related to the Model
Action - Means it's related to the Controller
Ahhh makes sense! Thanks Mike for sharing these links.
