Description Jonatan Magnusson 2006-02-24 10:11:00 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The character '&' (ampersand) is not accepted in passwords in gossip 0.10.
Looking in accounts.xml the password is cut off at this character ('abc&def'
becomes 'abc'). Entering the correct password with a text editor does not help,
and neither does '&'



Steps to reproduce:

Does this happen every time?

Thanks! I've fixed this so that user input is properly escaped.
