As does bit.ly -- just add a "+" to the end of the URI... And therein lies _yet another_ reason to detest URI shorteners -- there is no standard "preview mode" option. In fact, it's much worse than that -- most are so gormlessly implemented that the folk behind them cannot even conceive that _having_ a preview option might even be an idea worth considering! And to think some folk womnder why the Internet is so shite...
