You seem to say both that they aren't going too far, and that they are. Are you saying that they shouldn't admit blocking "legit" mail, because it's not really "legit" if not properly escaped? If that is the case, isn't iMail sending the message correctly? I don't claim to understand, still. :(( But doesn't iMail handle this correctly?
