A lot of times I get junk or scam links in a shortened URL form as part of
SPAM email or on some websites.

It would be very useful to me if I could either mouse-over or right-click
on a shortened URL to see the expanded URL *before* I click on it.

I don't know how hard this would be but it's something to consider. Thanks!

I'm sorry, but there are already a bunch of extensions and web services that do 
that.
