Comment:

 Hi @ jcoultas, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 Wrapping URLs in angle brackets is recommended behaviour by both
 [https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/5.1_Wrappers.html the W3C] and in
 [https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt Section C of the URI RFC].

 If some email service includes the ending bracket in the link,
 unfortunately there's not much we can do to fix that.

 Gmail usually handles this just fine. Problems only occur when using a
 plugin which adds HTML emails to WordPress, which causes the `<` and `>`
 to be  interpreted as a HTML element.

 With that being said, this has been reported numerous times in the past.
 See #23578, #43206, #18493, #21095, #23420, #39742.
