Description
See linked URL. First comment reads:
query about moodle.org - anyone know how many users have forum mail set to digest? For example this would give a percentage: select 100.0 * (select count(1) from mdl_user where maildigest0) / (select count(1) from mdl_user) AS percentage
Part of this should read:
select count(1) from mdl_user where maildigest<>0
It appears that the HTML special characters < and > have been stripped out entirely. Expected behaviour would be that these are output to the browser as < and > so that they display normally.
I did not test other characters but it might be worth somebody testing & ' and UTF-8 characters eg Chinese/Japanese text).

messages are processed by standard:
format_text() with MOODLE_FORMAT
and MOODLE_FORMAT, when cleaning output, strips unknown tags, afaik.
So I've added one htmlspecialchars() call to get <>& converted to entities before calling format_text()
Seems to be working on now. Ciao
