Hi,

Evolution displays HTML messages by default, but (as far as I
understand) the engine used to do so it not well-maintained security
wise.  [1] was mentioned on IRC.

Please consider disabling rendering of HTML by default. Currently
users can disable this manually: Edit -> Preferences -> Mail
Preferences -> HTML Messages -> Plain Text Mode: HTML Mode -> Only
ever show plain text.

If you consider this request valid, it might also make sense to
implement the same change in Jessie. I marked the bug as found in
Jessie's version of evolution to keep track of this.
