Did some testing...  Only had OE available at the moment.

In short, for URIs in the open, OE will treat "\" and "/" as equivilent, you
can even mix and match:

 http:\\people.apache.org\~felicity\
 http:\\people.apache.org\~felicity/
 http:\\people.apache.org/~felicity/
 http:/\people.apache.org/~felicity/
 http:\/people.apache.org/~felicity/

All of those work.  They work in both text/plain and text/html parts.
However...  Those URIs in an href (<a href="...">test</a>) do not work
at all.  When you do a mouse over on the "test" links, OE shows you a
properly formatted URI (bad), but when you click on it, OE brings up IE,
and passes the raw URI in, which IE has no idea what to do with.
