I've got that above message displaying correctly with the following 
settings:

Profile -> Personal Profile -> Preference Options

Ignore HTML - switched on (default not switched on)

Turn on the Rich Text Editor - switched off (default switched on)

And the message at

http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/x/x/m-p/4798782

displays correctly.

It's back to the smiley graphic version if I view it from another 
browser where I'm not logged in.  I note that even in that version the 
title comes out correctly; smiley character combinations in titles are 
not translated.
