Redmine

I noticed this issue while working offline (read on my own test-box; also to test new features recently added to the core) on improvements for RedmineReceivingEmails.

What I did:

1. Copied the complete content of RedmineReceivingEmails to a wikipage in a project in my local Redmine instance (source:/trunk@7962)
2. Section-edited "Enabling anonymous users to create issues by email"-section and saved the page

Now, looking at the diff of the new page-version (and of course the actual page content), the angle brackets within the < pre > blocks in the "Reading emails from standard input" and "Forwarding emails from your email server" sections are silently replaced by their named HTML entities substitutions (< & >).

After I found out the above I tried the same with a fresh (again local) copy of RedmineReceivingEmails but instead of section-editing I choose to regularly edit the whole wiki-page and still only make changes in the "Enabling anonymous users to create issues by email"-section.
This resulted in the correct behavior and made it sure to me that this issue is related to / happens only while using the recently introduced wiki section-editing feature.

I took it even one more step further by doing another section-edit (now on "How it works") and this resulted in the same incorrect behavior. That is, it now replaces the earlier inserted ampersands to his named HTML entitity substitution (&). In that way it's consistent.

Although this happens on my local instance of Redmine I'm pretty sure it will happen on (currently updated) redmine.org too whenever I make these section-edits "in production".
