I'm using the parse task with transport text AppleScript method; i.e., passing in:


-- Title 1 > Foo @ Bar
Notes
-- Title 2 > Foo @ Bar
Notes 2


Is it possible to escape special characters that might appear in either the Message Title or in Notes, short of just stripping them out altogether? For example, how could one do:


-- Cannot process amounts >=$2.00 > Foo @ Bar
This is a note
--
This is still part of the above note.


Escaping of the ticket titles is more important to me than the notes, since I can always use the single task option.

I suppose I can directly create new inbox tasks... but parse text is quite handy.
