Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/1140

When running the markdownlint-cli2 Pre-commit hook with the --fix option, a pair of angled brackets is added around text that is detected as a URL infinitely.

Minimal Markdown Example:

# Foo

Bar compose@.service

Expected behavior:

Run N:

# Foo

Bar compose@.service

Actual behavior:

Run 1:

# Foo

Bar <compose@.service>

Run 2:

# Foo

Bar <<compose@.service>>

Run 3:

# Foo

Bar <<<compose@.service>>>

et c.

Thanks for the quick reply on this! I should have clarified this in the OP, but the compose@.service is a reference to a Systemd unit template file rather than an email as described here in a few places
