the link in question works just fine without escaping the +; the + only has to be escaped in then query component of a URL, not in the path component where it is just another valid character - and the link in question did not contain any query component.

I don't think they are even possible, as the percent-sign is just another valid character in a Message-ID - but so is the '+' sign, so it seems you're trying to solve a non-existent problem...
(see RFC 5322 section 3.2.3)
