[LINK] E-mail question

I'm using an OSX client called Gyazmail. It has many things that annoy 
me (and overall it annoys me only somewhat less than all the other 
available email clients :)) but it does know about the angle brackets! 
(Hurray! Thunderbird doesn't and breaks links constantly)

wrapped, not clickable! (ok, half of it was clickable, giving a broken 
url...)

wrapped *and* clickable! :)

Yes, angle brackets do make a difference to *some* email clients.
(From memory, Thunderbird is not one of them)
