Yep. I'm a huge fan of Evolution - Evolution *ROCKS* full-stop - but this behavior really cheeses me off. Drives me up the wall. The issue is when replying to &^%@&^@ *MORONS* who send HTML e-mail. It will always reply to the HTML part. There are some preferences which make it less annoying/frequent - but it never goes away. > I'm using Evolution 2.22.3.1 but have heard the same complaint from > someone using Evolution 2.28.3.
