Here is how this bug report should look. I forgot to include the 'code' tags:


I'm trying to figure out how to print out the following characters:  &, ", ', <, >.  These characters come through looking as follows, respectively:
   &amp; &quot; &#039; &lt; &gt; 

I tried using chr() but it doesn't fix the problem.

I suspect the culprit would be in the mailing_label_plugin_display_attachment.

line 36:

          $results[$i][$id] = check_plain(strip_tags(($view->field[$id]->theme($result))));

its the check_plain part that calls htmlspecialchars() which does the conversion you are talking about

see this API entry

this is a good safety measure and should probably be left in place. You could try a form_alter to catch the result set and re-set the htmlentities back to their characters after the plugindisplay attachment has done its thing. perhaps and #after_build call to a reformatting fucntion?
