emacs: quote MML tags in replies
Emacs message-mode uses certain text strings to indicate how to attach files to outgoing mail. If these are present in the text of an email, and a user is tricked into replying to the message, the user’s files could be exposed. Edited-by: Pieter Praet <pieter@praet.org>: Rebased to release branch.

+Quote MML tags in replies
+
+ MML tags are text codes that Emacs uses to indicate attachments
+ (among other things) in messages being composed. The Emacs
+ interface did not quote MML tags in the quoted text of a reply.
+ User could be tricked into replying to a maliciously formatted
+ message and not editing out the MML tags from the quoted text. This
+ could lead to files from the user's machine being attached to the
+ outgoing message. The Emacs interface now quotes these tags in
+ reply text, so that they do not effect outgoing messages.
