Hi,
A lot of email that I get has very long URLs in the text
version. I use `gnus-treat-buttonize' to convert those to
clickable buttons. The labels are usually very long and I would
like to use something like `gnus-shorten-url' to have a smaller
string displayed as the label of the button. Any pointers to how I
can achieve this would be great.
Thanks,

There doesn't seem to be any pre-defined functionality for this in
Gnus -- gnus-button-alist just specifies regexps to react to and what
functions to call when you hit them, and not any way to specify a
transform of the text.
If you want to do something about that, then gnus-article-add-buttons in
gnus-art.el is the function to look at.
