[Enhancement] : Replace shortened URLs with the expanded text. #22

I'm getting weary of seeing shortened URLs in my emails client and would like to know if this add-on could be extended to replace tinyurl / bit.ly links with the value retrieved the location header.

e.g. See this amazing product https://tinyurl.com/[Some hash] Would get replaced as realUrl in text body. See this amazing product https://evil.com/ransomeware.js

IMHO, can't be done since those URL shortening services typically provide the real URL only upon actual call to the shortened version.
