For those who are still having murderous thoughts in 2012 (and likely
later), pressing "CTRL-SHIFT-V" (paste quoted text) in the editor window
will create a nice block of correct, editable ASCII text. You can use
this as follows:

1) highlight the message body in Evolution's main window, CTRL-C
2) hit reply
3) After the "On 2012-09-18 ..... wrote:", hit CTRL-SHIFT-V
4) Wonder at how beautiful ASCII is
5) Promptly terminate the evolution-generated HTML ugliness below.
6) Wonder how longer it will take for devs to realize that inserting HTML in a 
PLAIN TEXT message is plain stupid.
7) ... Profit!
