The < and >'s needs to be XML escaped at the minimum. Since a user
query is encapsulated in XML, ie:

<request>
  <userQuery>
    &lt;michael.albinus at gmx.de&gt;
  </userQuery>
</request>

So, are you using any client libs, or just the raw dbus interface? And
what version of strigi are you running?
