Have you tried the 'preview' function? It has everything to do with  
your browser.

When you have preview turned on and when you click the link,  
tinyurl.com opens and shows you the actual URL. But for this to work,  
you have to know to go to tinyurl.com and turn it on. You also have  
to accept a cookie from them.

Some people are unwilling/unable to do it.

If you must put a tinyurl in your message, is it so much to ask to  
have you put the complete url in also?

If you do not put the complete url in, there will be people who will  
not see what you want them to see. Is that what you are after?
