Some weird problem with displaying <>

I have encounterd one small problem with displaying < and > signs, perhaps Nick can interpret why is this happening.

MushClient is showing the following:

H:332 M:276  

You have recovered balance.
H:332 M:276 b> 


Later is a debug packet for that text. As i can see, it has <--> for first prompt line, and <-b> for second prompt. But as you can see above, it doesn't show <> at all for first prompt, and shows only > for second. Where do they disappear?

This isn't really a bug. There is a lengthy discussion about it on this thread:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=7217

I presume you are on a MXP/Pueblo enabled MUD, and it is not correctly translating < to &lt; like it should be under certain circumstances.

You can either suggest to them that they fix things up, or there is a small plugin on that thread that will attempt to fix it at the client end under most circumstances.

Thanks for quick response! I've disabled mxp - works like charm
