Interestingly, when I clicked on that one, Thunderbird gave me a warning:

Thunderbird thinks this message is a scam. The links in the message may
be trying to impersonate web pages you want to visit. Are you sure you
want to visit 173.194.33.52?

So it's not just browsers that can work with these obnoxious urls.
