Of course, people signing their messages with what appear to be an
end-tag will always cause problems for the unwary.

Actually, as the act of excerpting this & sending it in MIME/richtext should demonstrate, this will work fine for a native richtext composer, because the leading "<" will be replaced by "<lt>". (The previous sentence undoubtedly constitutes the new high-water mark in richtext sentences that are harder to understand when viewed in their raw form!)
