The <> is one of the documented conventions for enclosing links in text postings. I don't remember where it's documented, but someone pointed it out in teh last few weeks in one of the lists I read. There isn't much in the way of standards for web based fora, but the internet had standards for text posting long before the web came along. So, if your browser or email client follows proper convention, it won't break a link enclosed in <>. However, clearly the programmers for Google Groups don't know about standards because links shown on their web interface are always broken if they cover more than one line.
