            Bug ID: 4641
           Summary: Cannot handle `&` in accont names, which claws-mail
                    can create without problem.
           Product: clawsker
           Version: GIT
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: default
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: linux.felixbecker2 at gmx.de

Ahoj,

in `claws-mail` I can create accounts which have a `&` in their account name.

When I then open `clawsker`, it complains with messages like
```
(clawsker:16766): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:56:02.260: Failed to set text '--- Studium
& akademisches ---' from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1:
Entity did not end with a semicolon; most likely you used an ampersand
character without intending to start an entity — escape ampersand as &
```

In my `accountrc` there is an account with
```
account_name=--- Studium & akademisches ---
```

Although clawsker complains about it, it shows up in clawsker.

`clawsker` should handle without warning or error messages everything that
`claws-mail` can create.

I use gtk2 version of `calws-mail`.
