then you have a defective email reading program.
The purpose of the <> characters is to signal to a mail-reading program that
the thing between them is a URL and that it is OK for there to be a line
break there. So
<http://what
ever>
should work fine. If there is no danger of a line being broken, then there
is
no need to put the <> characters there. If their presence make it so that
you
cannot click on it, then you should file a bug report with the authors of
your email program.
