Hi Milan; I finally got around to trying this (sorry for the delay).
The patch attached to the second bug did indeed fix my problem and I was
able to read my emails with only occasional "<?>" glyphs instead of
entire paragraphs elided.  Yay!

Unfortunately, I realized that this completely messed up the Evo
composer, so that when I tried to send an email every character I typed
showed that character, then 3-4 bizarre graphical glyphs afterwards.

So, I had to remove the patch again.

It would be really, really nice if someone could provide a patch that
fixes the display issue without crushing the composer.

I'll be happy to test it and hopefully it won't take me so long next
time.

Cheers!
