Sending links to email with nodemailer not working

I'm working on an app and I'm using nodemailer to send recovery emails for users to reset their passwords and I'm trying to send a link to a page that will allow them to change their password. I'm using the following for the body of the email 

html: '<p>Click <a href="localhost:3000/sessions/recover/' + recovery_token + '">here</a> to reset your password</p>'

But when I test it I just get an email with the text and no link, using the ispector shows <a>here</a>, so it is sending the a tags, its just not sending the href.

I figured out the answer after I typed this question, so I guess I'll just answer my own question in case anyone else has the problem. I needed to include the http:// in the email, when I changed the body of the email to 

html: '<p>Click <a href="http://localhost:3000/sessions/recover/' + recovery_token + '">here</a> to reset your password</p>'

it started working.
