No confusion possible if using any classic mail reader.
Blame your ISP (and other ISPs as well like AOL that don't respect the
interoperable standards for plain-text emails) for its poor webmail
interface, that does not properly escape the characters used in plain-text
emails you receive (and that are NOT containing any html entities), but that
get inserted blindly within the HTML page they create in their webmail
interface.
Not only such webmail interface is bogous, but it is also dangerous as it
allows arbitrary HTML code to run from plain-text emails. Ask for support
and press your ISP to correct its server-side scripts so that it will
correctly support plain-text emails !
