<!--Oops--> Less-than and greater-than characters are not being handled properly in Stack Exchange inbox email notifications

Question

Less-than and greater-than characters are not being handled properly in Stack Exchange inbox email notifications.

This is troublesome when a post title contains HTML tags, as they will be sent as HTML in the email notifications. For example, the question Is Superuser's <code> CSS light-blue highlight near invisible on anyone else's laptop LCD? has <code> in the title.

The less-than and greater-than characters should be converted to the proper HTML entities < and >. Instead, they are sent as raw code.

Note: The characters display properly on the StackExchange sites.

Just as I thought!...

Answer 1

The next build will fix* this, we weren't encoding items titles properly for the email (and only the email it looks like).

_{*Should be within the hour.}
