A little command that's especially useful for writing emails.

It takes a highlighted URI and uses murl.info to shorten it to something more like:

Very tinyurl but a little more underground ;-).  Plus I couldn't get tinyurl to do this...

It will accept a uri with or without a protocol (http(s)) and will accept just about any amount of garbage on the end.  It does a pretty decent job of recognizing if what you have selected is actually a uri or not.
