The angle braces proposal was a typically clueless one in the first

I disagree. Note for example that <http://example.com/,> is a
perfectly valid URL different from <http://example.com/>.
Nevertheless it is often desirable to use URLs in sentences where a
comma which is not part of the URL immediately follows the URL with
no intervening whitespace.
The strong consensus of users is that cut and paste should work for URLs
in email clients. Blame the lazyness of the email client providers, not
the users.
Has the bug been reported to the email client providers?
Greetings,
