I don't know about support for that -- but if you want <>'s in there
you'll need to escape / url encode them, just as you have to escape the
space as %20:

The result would be:
mailto:Webmaster%20%3Cwebmaster at site.com%3E

Fun, cheap way to get the urlencoded equivalents of characters is to use
JavaScript:

Type this into your url/address bar:
javascript:alert(escape('<'));
javascript:alert(escape('>'));

HTH, (and HT works!)
