I think that you are right, Yaacov Glezer. But this is still BUG as i had already sent out many such messages and they will remain in such "invalid" form in my Sent folder and in resipents Inbox folder.
The translations need to be locked for the message to show without <span> tags.
Use the translation_key_id to find the phrases, for example the last one: http://www.geni.com/tr8n/phrases/view?translation_key_id=228198 (it needs BR or something for it to be on 2 lines).
