Unable to dismiss MFMailComposeViewController, delegate not called

Question

I am calling MFMailComposeViewController from a UITableViewController. Problem is the delegate method is never called when I select Cancel or Send button in Mail compose window:

mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controllerdidFinishWithResult 

Here is the table view class:

@implementation DetailsTableViewController
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    if (indexPath.section==0 && indexPath.row==4) {
        //SEND MAIL
        MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
        controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
        if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
            [controller setSubject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Ref %@",[item objectForKey:@"reference"]]];
            [controller setMessageBody:@" " isHTML:NO]; 
            [controller setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[item objectForKey:@"email"]]]; 
            [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
        }
        [controller release];       
    }
}

- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controllerdidFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {
    // NEVER REACHES THIS PLACE
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    NSLog (@"mail finished");
}

The application doesn't crash. After the Cancel or Send button is pressed, the Compose Window stays on the screen with buttons disabled. I can exit application pressing Home key.

I am able to open other Modal Views form TableView but not MailCompose.

Make sure you use

controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;

and not

controller.delegate = self;
