Possible attempt at a security exploit

I received a message which appeared to be a spam message or a message sent by 
malware.  The message didn't appear to have any active content, but it had an 
interesting feature, the message ends with an unfinished escape tag like 
this: </ followed by newline.

It looks like someone is trying to exploit a security hole in a browser, but 

Also, the message claimed that someone deleted me from MSN Messenger and 
that if I wanted to know who it was I should visit a certain website.  I'm 
just saying this in case other people get a similar message.
