** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: quassel
+ Impact:
+ Notifications fsent from Quassel to KNotify which contain "<" ">" or "&" are 
parsed as broken HTML so the notifications do not display any message at all, 
just the sender's name.
  
- Quassel's not escaping < > and & so the notifications come out blank.
- Upstream has a patch for it.
+ Explanation:
+ The upstream patch catches characters that could be present in HTML tags and 
escapes them.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ Open Quassel on one computer and put it on an inactive desktop.  From another 
computer, send a message highlighting the user that is logged on in Quassel 
with text containing problematic characters, like "<3 Quassel".  Only the 
sender's nick will be displayed in the notification.  The text "<3 Quassel" 
will not.
+ 
+ I do not see any regression potential as the patch is very simple and
+ straightforward.
