Yup, decades.

RFC 1738, _Uniform Resource Locators (URL)_, 1994 Berners-Lee et al.

TMI, I know, but I just happened to have it open in a tab and I
couldn't resist.

Mutt historically didn't do any URL-recognition.  (I'm not even sure
it does now;  maybe it's really the terminal doing that for Ant's
recipient.)  Mutt users piped message bodies to something that does,
usually urlview.  I just tested urlview by piping a few messages to
it, and it handles the delimiters fine.  Ant, you might point the Mutt
users towards that.
