Here's a change in behavior I would love on the mailers. ## Backstory
When you send an email, you'll likely need links. Those links must be the full path i.e. 'http://example.com/foo' instead of relative (just '/foo'). Unfortunately most devs are so used to using the *_path helpers, they use them in emails by mistake. I made this mistake recently with http://www.codetriage.com, here's the PR that fixes it (https://github.com/codetriage/codetriage/pull/257). The sad part is I didn't realize there was a problem until a user got an email and couldn't click on a link. Then they had to be nice enough to report it. If your business is running on Rails, this may take days. I've been doing this for years, and it still happens to me. ## Feature Here's what I would like to see happen. Either raise an exception when *_path helpers are used in a mail template so my tests would have caught it, or likely just have *_path helpers resolve to the full URL by default.
