I believe that you have to put in your config/environments/production.rb:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {:protocol => 'https'}

While this works for securing email links, it might not be the best idea. If you ever need to change domains, you're going to need to maintain two secure sites because otherwise all the HTTPS links to the old domain will break. It's better to have email links not be dependent on maintaining an old SSL Cert. – Amin Ariana Nov 26 '14 at 22:29

Editing my config/environments/development file with

host = "hostaddress.io"    
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: host, protocol: 'https' }

worked for me on Rails 4.2.2.

If you're trying to get the Rails Tutorial sample app's account activation email links to work correctly, this is the way to go. – tacos1998 Mar 02 '16 at 15:01
