If you email your users links and wrap the links in angle brackets, beware
users using Yahoo Mail. It includes the trailing angle bracket in the link,
preventing it from working. (This was happening with my site's "forgotten
password" system, so people couldn't reset their passwords.)

As a workaround, you can have your code check for a trailing ">" and strip
it before further processing. I submitted a bug report using Yahoo's
generic bug form, but couldn't find any Mail-specific place to report bugs
with their service.
