Question

Whenever I send out emails in development mode, it does not put the localhost:3000 in the url. Is there any way I can configure this site-wide?

I have tried the following:

ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = "localhost:3000"

inside of an initializer, but it has no effect.

I have also tried this in ‘development.rb’:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {:host => 'localhost:3000'}

Help?

(as in the comments to the question, so that the question can be answered)

Make sure you use the _url helpers in your Mailer views, because _path will only output relative urls (i.e. without the hostname).
