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.

(see RFC 3986 sections 3.3 and 3.4)

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)
