So because they don't escape < > characters in their webmail client makes blockchain.info or Ripple-client vulnerable to something similar?! ???

I use a very simple heuristic that saved me from a lot of trouble: Scripted websites are unsuitable for security applications - don't use them for anything sensible.

These days every idiotic page requires scripting for useless effects - often you can't even view simple text without scripting enabled... i cannot express how much I hate this!

Scripting is a disease.

ya.ya.yo!
