It might be a little easier if there were actually an e-mail address in your sample. — Joel Coehoorn, Jul 01 '10 at 02:00
@Joel - You edited out the email address, I'm not sure why, that was a perfectly valid address, you don't know the reason it was in brackets or what the source was. Reverting your change, since the question makes no sense after that. — Nick Craver, Jul 01 '10 at 02:13

Use

string textInBrackets = Regex.Match(yourText, "(?<=<)[^>]*(?=>)").ToString();

If you want to get all emails from text, you can try this:

List<string> foundMails = new List<string>();
string regex = "[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?";
string text = "some text mail@something.com some other mail test.simple@something.net text.";
Match m =  Regex.Match(text, regex);
while (m.Success)
{
     foundMails.Add(m.ToString());
     m = m.NextMatch();

}

foundMails collection contains found emails
