Message:

Take t.co URL lengthe^{Wshortening into account when counting message length
before posting a Twitter message. Disable this functionality by default for
identi.ca accounts. Hardcode post-t.co URL length to 20 since it's probably
not going to change any time soon. Bug #855. Patch by Artem Savkov, thanks!}
