Comment (by dd32):

 They actually serve a purpose, They define the start and endings of links
 in Plain Text emails, many (at least older) email clients that only use
 Plain Text required <..> around url's to define the boundaries, It's more
 of a problem when the link is long and wraps onto a second line.

 It's part of the Plain Text email RFC from memory, and is also
 [http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/5.1_Wrappers.html recommended for other
 addressing methods in plain text].

 The "proper" thing here IMO, isn't to change the Plain text emails to be
 "prettier" but instead, to implement proper HTML emails so that we can
 style things properly: #18493
