Hi Hiroyuki,

I kept seeing this error, 
> (sylpheed:4947): LibSylph-WARNING **: html_get_tag(): syntax error in tag: 'IMG height=16
>  alt='Inactive hide details for "LName, FName (Name of Biz..)" <FName.LName@some.dom.mail'

so I investigated it and found this from the source e-mail
> November.<BR><BR>steve<BR><BR><IMG height=16 
> alt='Inactive hide details for "LName, FName (Name of Biz..)" <FName.LName@some.dom.mail>' 
> src="cid:199321619@15172095-212e" width=16>"LName, FName (Name of Biz..)" 
> &lt;FName.LName@some.dom.mail&gt;<BR><BR><BR>

The problem is html_parse_tag first calls html_get_parenthesis() and copies
the buf upto the first instance of '>', but in this case the '>' is inside
a quoted string.

No immediate solution comes to mind, except my deep desire to rewrite html.c.
