[TxMt] Go Murl Yourself

[Brett Terpstra]

Problem is, a lot of mail readers add line breaks on long urls and a  
lot of people that I send urls to can't figure out how to paste them  
back together.  So shortening them to prevent line breaks is kind of  
a must for me.  I would only use it for emails... but I find it very  
useful for that.
