[MlMt] Big problem with copying some innocent xml snippet out of MailMate

Hi all

I have been sent from an Outlook client an emailwith the following 
command line snippet:

```
curl "http://localhost:8080/solr/winfried/update?commit=true" -H 
"Content-Type: text/xml" -d 
'<delete><query>store:”top"</query></delete>'
```

(Written in Outlook not as code, but as normal body text).

When I received this in MailMate I saw the same sexy as above in the 
message view, but when I  copied the line to the clipboard and 
susequently pasted it into any text editor I got only:

```
curl "http://pf:8080/solr/kalarux/update?commit=true" -H "Content-Type: 
text/xml" -d_ 'store:"xxx"'
```

This was reproducible. I think it is related to quoting text in the HTML 
portion of a message: The _render code_  in the message view seems to do 
the right thing, but the _copy code_ doesn’t…

This took me a little while to find: It is pretty unexpected (and scary) 
that you get something a bit different out of the copy-paste then you 
see in the message….

I’d say this is a severe little bug, or do I do something wrong?

Happy emailing
Leo
