Loading a library inside a helper

[eluser]Narkboy[/eluser]
From the user guide:

Unlike most other systems in CodeIgniter, Helpers are not written in an Object Oriented format. They are simple, procedural functions. Each helper function performs one specific task, with no dependence on other functions.

The easiest way to do this would be to drop the send_thank_you into a model or library then call it from there. I imagine you've got other email related functions? An email model may be the easiest way to go!
