http://ruby-talk.com/34567 is a fair bit of typing to reference an old post.
If I was typing my emails in Vim (oh what luxury) there'd be no such problem.

Personally I don't think it's hard to:
1. Open a browser (keyboard shortcut)
2. Focus on the address (keyboard shortcut)
3. Type in "ruby-t" (autocompletes to www.ruby-talk.com)
4. Complete the address "/34567" manually

But... it would be nice.  Anyone know how to edit Outlook Express emails with
Vim? :)
