Actually, I don't think evolution (or any other app that displays a
brief version of a website, e.g. Mozilla's sidebar, Netscape.net's
modules, etc...) really parse the *.html files.  What they do is read a
small file called a *.rdf file.  

Slashdot's is at http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf (you can probably open
in it your favorite web browser... Galeon? ;o)  anyway... i checked that
it exists and it appears to be there, so it may be another problem.
It's also not updating on my system.

of course,... i could be wrong about all this.  :o)
