Hi there, and happy new year !

I’m bouncing on [issue#2357](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/2357) :  
I know URL shorteners are bad practice, but what if the URL shortener is hosted under the same domain ?  
As YOURLS can be installed on a subfolder, this may not be considered as a bad practice.

**Wouldn’t it be useful to have the ability to shorten URL in emails ?**

Cheers,
