Hi Gabe
It's worth noting that setting the default host - with or without a
subdirectory - is brittle anyway. If you don't specify a port there, it will
never come into play in your email URLs, and if you did want a custom port,
just stick it in the middle of the host value: foo.com:8080/bar.
That said, it does feel quite ugly - but not sure there's a better way forward.
