If you take a look at the message source, you'll find that the message is a multipart/alternativewhich means that there are several "alternative" views of the same[1] message body which are listed in reverse preference order (last part is the most preferred, first part is the least preferred).
What a mail client is supposed to do is show the *last* part which it is capable of displaying, which is exactly what Evolution is doing. I don't know what can be done as obviously it would not be good to show the user all versions of the body (imagine reading multiple copies of the same message all in a row - we'd probably get thousands of bug reports about a bug in evolution that showed multiple copies of the same message). [1] obviously, the content *does* differ. usually you'll have 1 version in text/html format and one in text/plain (and possibly one in text/richtext or text/enriched or something).
