for me (Spanish language) it's still happening since version 0.5 or so. Before,

the accents appeared as a ' followed by the vowel being "accented", but
since then, the rest of the line after a letter with accent disappear.
Although some friends of mine have told me that it works now for them,
since version preview release 7. They told me that you must define the
LANG and LANGUAGE environment variables to your preferred language
before launching evolution, but this has not worked for me, so I can't
say for sure if it works

But, does this have to do with evolution or with gtkhtml?
