Description

Sent myself a note via Outlook email app as a backup. It had no links. Something in the way Simplenote passes the info to Outlook via the Share pane appears broken.

### Expected
Expected to see all links in the message, whether wrapped in <> or not.

### Observed
When message is created in Outlook, links wrapped in <> appear to not be included. This works as expected in Apple Mail.

### Reproduced
Open a note. Note is Markdown enabled. Some links have <> around them, while some I just haven't gotten to yet.
Using i icon, (markdown is selected, no other options), select "Send"
Standard ios pane comes up: select Outlook (in this case, using Outlook to manage Yahoo! Mail)
New message appears. Note that no links are present.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the iOS share flow from the note’s info icon with Markdown selected, then choose Send and Outlook from the standard share pane. Compare the generated message with Apple Mail, focusing on links wrapped in angle brackets; done means all links appear in the Outlook message as they do in Apple Mail.
