 In #14140, angle brackets were added to plain text emails sent by
 WordPress due to some email clients not handling long URLs correctly.

 However in some email clients, the trailing `>` is treated as part of the
 link, which also causes users to end up at the wrong URL.

 As there is no standardised way to make a link clickable in a plain text
 document I think the best solution would be for WordPress to send all mail
 in both `text/plain` and `text/html`.
