Yet another alternative to the long URLs (i.e. use TinyURL -
http://tinyurl.com):
http://tinyurl.com/2fzx9
ACK, but those URLs are not canonical. One resource on the net should
only have one URL (the canonical address). When using services like
TinyUrl or MakeAShorterLink, URLs are not necessarily canoncical.
If in the yar 2010 TinyUrl closes its service, URLs will become
useless. The original Google URLs will include the message ID which
will make locating the message easier even if Google doesn't provide its
archive any more.
Just my 2 Euro cents.
