TSVN uses its own dialog box which is a little bit better than the
standard one because it allows us to format the showed text a little bit
with 'html' tags. For example, you can write a message like this:

this is <b>BOLD</b> and <i>italic</i> and even <br=0xFF00FF>colors</br>
are possible.

But you just found out that this isn't really perfect because everything
inside any <XXX>YYYY</XXX> will vanish if the parser doesn't recognize
it as a 'valid' tag.

I see what I can do to prevent this kind of behaviour...
