Description
The illegal chars can be found in the post "Glyph Lefkowitz: iOS Mail To Omnifocus Task":
<li>Continue holding down with your first finger. With a <em>second</em> finger, swipe
| up from the bottom to enter the multitasking view, or to go back to your
| home screen. While holding your first finger in place, either switch to or
| launch OmniFocus.</li>
The char after "view" is causing the issue.
A simple measure would be replacing such control chars with empty strings.
