Comment:

 As requested in issue #5088, I am reopening this bug (which appears
 related to that one but is the reverse case) with more detail.

 The XML-RPC client I used to post the text was a Perl script of my own
 design, invoked from procmail, so I can mail posts to my blog.  It uses
 the Net::Blogger::* API from CPAN.  I am attaching it hereto and
 incidentally contributing it to anyone else who'd like to use it.

 My version of Perl is 5.8.8 and my version of Net::Blogger is 1.0.

 ''However,'' in testing I discovered that it is not necessary to use XML-
 RPC to reproduce this problem.  Simply start writing a post with the non-
 WYSIWYG editor (i.e., with your "Use the visual editor when writing"
 profile option turned off) containing something simple like:


 {{{
 <b>test</b>
 }}}


 Now "Save and continue editing."  Presto: the post body now contains


 {{{
 &lt;b&rt;test&lt;/b&rt;
 }}}


 and you've reproduced the bug.
