There are extensions that add back this feature.  Check them out.  Note 
that just because you use this feature, doesn't mean everyone does.  I 
never noticed, partly because I consider it good internet etiquette to 
make sure a link is good before sending it to anyone else.  Ie, I visit 
the link to check it before sending.
