Use <$xml(ClientName)$> instead of <$ClientName$>

regexReplaceAll function helped me resolve the issue. it replaces the matched value from variable. In my case &

Here it is < $regexReplaceAll(ClientName,"&","")$>

< a href="mailto:xyz@abc.com?subject=ACTION REQUIRED: < $regexReplaceAll(ClientName,"&","")$> is in your workflow queue | PID: < $xProject_ID$> | DID:< $dID$> | Approve">"
