this is a known issue, unfortunately

no idea when or if it will ever get "fixed" (ideally, Microsoft Outlook
would support the PGP/MIME standard but well, since Microsoft didn't
implement their own PGP support - rather NAi did and now that NAi is no
longer supporting PGP...you get the picture).

You can use red-carpet or I suppose you could download it and any
dependencies using an ftp client and install them manually.

You shouldn't need to uninstall the old evolution, but you might want to
update gtkhtml and gal too.
