[Xesam] special characters in query string

[Michael Albinus]

Hi,

I want to send a user query for "<michael.albinus at gmx.de>". That
doesn't seem to work, due to the < and > characters (tested with strigi).

How can I encode such characters? Note, that sending a user query for
"michael.albinus at gmx.de" has no problems, but for some reasons I need
the full email address in the query. Or is it just a bug, that the
query is not performed?

Best regards, Michael.
