Hope you want to test email of ActionMailer by opening it.

Scenario: Email is sent to winning user
  Given "[email protected]" is playing a game
  When that user picks a winning piece
  Then "[email protected]" receives an email with "You've Won!" as the subject

Then /^"([^"]*)" receives an email with "([^"]*)" as the subject$/ do |email_address, subject|
