 Some email clients do not handle well URLs that wrap across lines;  that
 is, they fail to make them clickable in their entirety.

 This can confuse WP users who are emailed a URL to reset their passwords,
 because clicking does not lead to a valid URL.  See this wp-hackers
 thread:

 Core could fix this for several (most? all?) problematic email clients by
 simply enclosing the URL in angle brackets (the less than and greater than
 signs) before sending it.

 I attach a tentative patch to get us going.

 See also a couple of mentions/recommendations of the angle brackets as
 delimiters for URIs in plain text:
