Stefan HildebrandtandLinus Rath d863b1fd4b fix: HTML-escape sender/subject in reply/forward quote header (#482)
The forward quote header renders "From: Name <email>", but the HTML variant
interpolated the sender string unescaped. In the rich-text composer the
"<email>" portion is parsed by the browser as a bogus HTML tag and dropped, so
the address silently disappears - the user sees only "From: Display Name". The
plain-text variant and the details panel escape correctly, which is why the
address shows there. This is the regression from #367, which added the
"<email>" into the HTML string without escaping it.

Fix: HTML-escape the user-controlled values (sender, subject, date) in every
HTML quote-header path - the production builder in lib/quote-header.ts and the
composer's inline fallback (both htmlBody and plain-body branches), for forward
and reply. The reply line keeps the bare display name by design (#367), but its
HTML form is now escaped too so a display name containing markup can't break
out. As a side benefit this closes an HTML-injection vector: a crafted subject
or display name was previously injected raw into the composer document.

Adds lib/__tests__/quote-header.test.ts covering: forward text keeps
"Name <email>"; forward HTML escapes the angle brackets (address survives) and
a markup subject/display name; reply stays bare-name and HTML-safe.
