 dont work because of that > in the code. People are having problems with
 it like in 5 years now. Do something about this... You want to force
 people to use gmail or yahoo not the mails that they are using ?

 Yes this is frustrating for you, but this is a bug in the email service
 provider which is not respecting web standards for URL handling. It's
 unreasonable to expect software to cater for other software which doesn't
 respect the most basic of web standards.

 In addition, bugs are present when the angle brackets are ''not'' in
 place, hence why they were introduced seven years ago in #14140.

 It would be more productive for you to get in touch with the email
 provider and ask them to correct their bug. The bug will affect ''all''
 software and services which send emails containing bracket-delimited URLs,
 not just WordPress.
