Oh and to answer your question Martin -
it's a fairly common step for both. Your absolute best bet is going to
peepcode.com and watching all the vids on speccing. it should give you
more than enough starting information about approach.
BTW - do any 'proper' tdd/bdd types here reccommend any specific books?

A few questions from someone new to rspec.
1/ I have several complex yet largely independent models using rspec
to test internals and computation methods. I am about to tackle
models that have several ties to each other and to the "primitive",
independent models.
One model has stuff like this:
class Message ...
belongs_to :contact
belongs_to :topic
has_one :header
has_many :parts
has_many :attachments
My question:
What is the best practice for testing models with these
interdependencies? What would you recommend for Message? What about
Topic, which has_many Messages? Do I mock these? Use canonical data
in the code rather than use a fixture?
2/ Related to (1), I have not found much documentation about such
techniques. Pointers? Examples? Mentorship? Blogs?
3/ Has any documented how to run the debugger via rspec to help
track down errors?
