Hi @cypris75,
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce. Both symbols work fine for me:

Most likely, you're HTML encoding the result of mailGenerator.generate(email); before passing it into your mailing library (e.g. nodemailer), or your mailing library automatically HTML encodes any e-mail body you pass into it.

Please investigate further, and consider trying out nodemailer to confirm it's your mailing library that is the cause of the issue:

// Send the e-mail with your favorite mailer
transporter.sendMail({
    from: '[email protected]',
    to: '[email protected]',
    subject: 'Mailgen',
    html: emailBody,
    text: emailText,
}, function (err) {
    if (err) return console.log(err);
    console.log('Message sent successfully.');
});
