Possible Bug with HTML Comments for Data Driven Subscription

I have specified a good sized comment that gets displayed in the message
body. It is html, which by the way could be improved as it is a bit
difficult as it all has to be on one line which makes the <pre> tag useless
so I have to replace all spaces with nbsp and all line breaks with <br> (Hint
- wishlist). In either case when I go back and change something else later -
for instance the email address, it replaces the brackets on my tags in the
comment box with < and &rt, thereby messing up my comment and giving me
something that is gobbledy gook as far as the user is concerned. Why does
reporting services mess up my comment when I go back to change something else?
Thanks,
Scott EguiresThis is a known issue. The Asp.Net control encodes the data for us which
causes this problem. There is no real workaround, except to keep you html
in a separate location and cut and paste it in when ready.
