I would not apply the <...> markup to mail addresses, only to URLs.
Reason: While many mailer programs we are used to allow entering email
addresses surrounded by < >, some mailer programs break horribly when
users do that. (IIRC it was some web based mail service, can't remember
which one.)
But it's only a small preference. I have no strong opinion on this case.
