Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer

Angle quotation marks, colloquially 'angle brackets'. 

Breakage at, for example, the seventh of seven links in 
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2021-June/294221.html>

<https://man.freebsd.org/syncer(4)>

– I guess, the ) is misinterpreted. 

----

I have half-learnt to work around comparable breakage in Bugzilla for FreeBSD, however the breakage in e-mail archives is a surprise to me (maybe I never noticed it before).
