Often it's because of slight incompatibility of the word processing system you use yourself and the website or email system you are corresponding with. Often it seems to do with quotation marks. I've also noticed it happening with Mac v PC. |

The developer has made a mistake and mixed XML encoding with plaintext decoding. It's better than the other way around, which tends to break stuff.
'&' is how '&' is stored in XML. Similarly, '"' is a quotation mark, '>' is the greater than sign etc.
So someone wrote '&', the software stored it as XML '&' and then the software displayed the '&' as is, rather than converting it back to '&'. |
