This email is a disaster. Its bullet points lack clear lists of steps
to reproduce each issue which would allow someone to reproduce each
issue. Please dedicate some time to write reproducible bug reports in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/ by following
https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines

(Do you like my tone? I do not, so less drama and exaggeration would be
welcome. What's left on the escalation scale after "disaster" and
catastrophy? A nuclear explosion? A meteor strike?)

More constructively: Evolution 3.38 will have an updated composer
backend. You might want to check that version to be released next
month, but no idea when or how your distribution might ship it. Will
likely require an upgrade but that's a question for you distribution.

Thanks,
andre
