Don’t do that, then?

A closing parenthesis is a valid URL character. Any heuristic that
fixes your problem will break legal, standard-conforming URLs, such as

The URL heuristic could match only paired parentheses. At least that's what my mail app appears to be doing, as it correctly matches both URLs.
