Automatically creating short URL's?

[David Gibbs-2]

Folks:

Has anyone considered the idea of using one of the URL shortening
services (tinyurl.com, etc) to automatically process URI's in messages
processed by mhonarc?

When people on my lists post URL's, they are quite often long and
unwieldy ... it would be nice if I could automatically translate those
long URI's into shorter versions.

Thanks!
