Messages containing HTML entities such as   cause a MessageParserException

[jimbodunc]

Parsing any message containing HTML entities fails in the function get_text_content_from_message:

This issue is that difusedxml won't accept non-XML entities by default.

This is a particular issue because tables copy/pasted from Excel into a symphony chat render empty cells as  

For example:

Arrives as:

<div data-format="PresentationML" data-version="2.0" class="wysiwyg">
    <p>
        <table class="pasted-table">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th>/bilat-barc-dev</th>
                    <th>Bid</th>
                    <th>Mid</th>
                    <th>Ask</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <td>&nbsp;</td>
                    <td>1.114</td>
                    <td>1.893</td>
                    <td>0.291</td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </p>
</div>

I noticed that the same table pasted into Symphony 1.5 does not contain   so this might (also) be a platform bug.

<div data-format="PresentationML" data-version="2.0" class="wysiwyg">
    <p>
        <table class="pasted-table">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th>/bilat-barc-dev</th>
                    <th>Bid</th>
                    <th>Mid</th>
                    <th>Ask</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <td>&#160;</td>
                    <td>1.114</td>
                    <td>1.893</td>
                    <td>0.291</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>2</td>
                    <td>1.265</td>
                    <td>1.304</td>
                    <td>1.727</td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </p>
</div>
