Actually, yes, I do.  But my statement was that the mail was 
standards-conforming.  And a MIME-conforming MUA either (1) recognizes 
the Content-Type and handles it according to whatever 
rules/conventions/configuration options there are for that type OR (2) 
does not recognize the type and takes some action like ask the user what 
to do with it, etc.  including the option of just displaying the text.  
A NON-MIME-conforming MUA would just display the text verbatim.  
Regardless of whether Evolution claims to be (or actually is) 
MIME-conforming *or not*, you in this case should see the text (since 
it's not encoded, compressed, or whatever, just text).   It's my 
contention that if you don't, then your MUA is defective.  But hey, we 
use defective software all the time :-)   but we usually try to fix it.
