Error when sending characters <>

Description

In the simple chat example, the program has bizarre behavior if you were to type in "user@domain.com <>". The program still runs and appears fine, but will show as offline on another user's buddy list. I'm not sure if it's my responsibility to escape this text or not, but either way, if it's supposed to fail, it should fail more helpfully. :)

  • priority changed from major to minor.
  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • version changed from Current to headstock-0.2.0.
  • type changed from defect to enhancement.
  • milestone changed from headstock-0.1.0 to headstock-0.3.0.

I agree the simplechat example ought to do the escaping. However I don't feel like headstock itself should. I prefer that the developer keeps the responsability of knowing what to escape or not.
