There is actually a setting that you can tell Evolution to not quote the
original email. You hit reply and it gives you a blank email, but uses
all the right headers and subject line.
Jesse, would you recommend Sylpheed? I've never tried it...
I used to use it (and it's where I first found the "highlight-quote"),
but it got somewhat unstable for a while, then there was the whole
gtk1-gtk2 move, and spell checker issues as well. I'm not sure the
current state of Sylpheed.

I would toss in my two Canuck cents to vote "yea"... :-(
I've seen so much positive comments on Evolution in this
and the shrike-list, that I thought I'd give it a try, but
this disappoints me. The other thing, I've just found out,
is that unlike some other mailers, you cannot selectively
delete some of the messages in the trash folder.
Huh, I hadn't tried that yet.
