--------------------------------------

I see Remko fixed your posts. What I was saying before is that if you want to 
avoid escaping your message, you could create a patch for adding an option to 
do that. But, it's most likely that you'll end up creating invalid XML by 
having messages include XML reserved characters. 

In this case, it looks like your message is an XML string, which if 
well-formed, could work with no escaping.
