macros inside tags won't evaluate unless you escape the tag.  In this 
particular case this causes other things to be evaluated, like automatic 
link activation, so you have to escape that too.  Something like this works:

\<A href=\"mailto:\//listserver\@mydomain.com?subject:Re:{title}">Post 
response to listserver</A>

There is also a preference which you could set
processMacrosInHtmlTags

see http://frontier.userland.com/stories/storyReader$9297

There was a conversation on one of the lists about this recently.
