Sorry, I read your report a bit too hurriedly and parsed it as "KMail
notifications for new mails don't show". Reassigning.

The <qt> tag wraps a Qt rich-text document, as such it is basically a synonym
for <html>. This makes the HTML entities for the points brackets work, because
otherwise "<nick>" might be parsed as a tag and omitted:

KNotification::event(QString::fromLatin1("message"), QString("<qt>&lt;%1&gt;
%2</qt>").arg(fromNick).arg(forKNotify), QPixmap(), m_mainWindow);

At least it was necessary in Qt 3. The Qt 4 documentaton on the matter[1] has a
"Provided for compatibility with earlier versions of Qt." note on the <qt> tag
that suggests it might be preferred to use <html> now, and perhaps Awesome
would handle that better.

We'll look into what KDE's notification experts recommend on the matter.
