Doesn't make any sense why should I put HTML tags in a linux script?

echo "KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C"
if [ -p /tmp/xmms-info ] ; then echo "Live - $( grep Title: /tmp/xmms-info | 
awk -F': ' '{print $2}' )"

Kmail automatically adds the -- which I'm having to use for this message since 
Evolution has suddenly decided to lockup when trying to either reply to a 
message or write a new message. Another question is why doesn't Evolution show 
a new message count as they come in? I'm using an IMAP account on my local box 
along with fetchmail and procmail. In Kmail when a new post comes into one of 
the folders the message count shown changes but not in Evolution. Though I'm 
more concerned with the lockup right now. Another issue with using Kmail in 
Gnome is that for some reason I can't sign messages, I get a "signing failed, 
bad passphrase" though I can sign them using Evo, but Kmail works fine in KDE.
