Special characters when using tell command #66

I tried using the tell command with **tell geisterfurz007 "Hello!" and got pinged with the message &quotHello!&quot (with ; after &quot, but this editor would make them a " if this was there...) I think, it would be great to add support for special characters / prevent this encoding if it is not required elsewhere.

This is HTML-Entity-Escaping. We're possibly overencoding somewhere or should HTML-decode the messages we receive before interpreting them.The latter seems the more correct option to me.
