I would argue that that is a deficiency in the Webmail system, if it
doesn't escape characters in plain text that have meaning in HTML --
after all, you only need to escape four of them to be safe. :)

But I realise that the software world isn't perfect (for example, my
email client doesn't understand UTF-8, which is a weak show these days.
