[Request] Use angle brackets for URLs in email (#5710)

Hi,

Could the email interface be changed to use angle brackets around URLs
in email messages instead of parens? Or at least make it an option?
Quite often I click on an URL but a ")," is tacked onto the end and the
server gives me an error.

Thanks,

Jim

This is done.

There were some major issues getting this to work properly, as I discussed with you privately, but this was the right thing to do. Besides, a URL can contain a ')', but it can't contain a '>', so delimiting with angle brackets is "more valid."
