Calling link_to from rake task

[Damjan Rems]

I have a rake task, which informs users about all kind of statuses in
the application by e-mail.

It would be nice if I could create active links together with statuses.
But have noticed that link_to helper is not available for rake or
ActionMailer. Is there an easy way to include link_to helper in rake or
example below is the only sane way of doing it :-(

body << '<a href="http://my.site.com/link">Link</a>'

Use a template. All the usual view helpers will be available there. You'll also want to make sure you set `default_url_options`:

otherwise all your links will be missing the host part.
