Well in fact I don't think that will even work with the present URL rules. Just on a lark I clicked on your string, and my firefox interpreted it as http://3ffe:1900. Unless there's a special http protocol string for ipv6?

Since : is used to denote the port you must put the IPv6 address in brackets.
Thunderbird doesn't make that a clickable link. Since the change to ipv6 is pretty much inevitable and probably most things will eventually work out, maybe we should focus on the little things (like programs not recognizing the addresses in various contexts) that are going to cause pain during the transition.
Did you file a bug to the Thunderbird bugzilla regarding this?
