Right, HTML is not allowed in the subject (and hopefully user names). But since the given characters are still allowed in the subject (and maybe in user names) as normal characters without special meaning, they need to be escaped when displayed on the website. This is right. But they currently are also escaped in the plaintext part of the mail. This is wrong. It has nothing to do with HTML being allowed or not. Just send yourself a message with a subject like '" & < >' and check the plaintext part of the received mail. It will read "[...] has sent you a message through OpenStreetMap with the subject " & < >:"
