The correct fix would seem for the script be to replace all instances of
'<' by '&lt;'.  The characters '&' and '>' should also be replaced the
same way.

Of course such a conversion needs to be aware of the current mine type.
If the type is html, no conversion should be done, and if the type
is richtext, the tags should be converted to html.

This is arguably a bug in hypermail (or whatever software is used),
but then I am told hypermail is full of bugs, and should be replaced
by something that is actually being maintained.  (Jason Molenda
suggests somebody should look into MHonArc.)
