But Evolution has no idea whether the text was pasted or typed or
whatever.

You can do "View" -> "Source" to see the raw source of the message, and
you'll almost certainly find the "<<...OLE_Obj...>>" strings are in
there literally.

Micros0ft sux!

Oh wait, no, that wasn't very insightful. I dunno. I think something
he's doing must be generating text in some cases and OLE references in
others, and Outlook (or whatever he's using) doesn't flatten the
embedded object to text. I don't know Windows well enough to say for
sure how he could make it work reliably.
