Yes, last night when I was flicking through some of the messages to start 
building a cohesive document describing what we all want I was thinking to 
myself: does that means we need to HTML-ify all e-mails if we hold them in 
XML?

So, that line would read:

<Subject>I thought we had &lt; 20 users</subject>

Which would still break. The correct form of course would be:

<Subject>I thought we had &lt; 20 users</Subject>
