Hi!
<p>
I would like to use MD5 hashes, but with a little shorter
string length than e.g. 2dd9f2ba1f924996fa231fdceb4c6f57.
The main reason is that when the hash is part of a URL, it
will often make the URL longer than what fits in an e-mail.
<p>
I figure I can take the hex value and somehow transform it
into a base other than hex, e.g. encoded with these characters:
a-zA-Z0-9.
<p>
But the math and the best way to do this is way over my
head.
<p>
Any ideas?
