(OOPS, this should have been sent to the evolution list sooner.)

Yes I did, in fact that was likely the problem.

I was positive that I had upgraded gtkhtml, but checked as per your
suggestion and found that I had 2 versions, one from ftp.ximian I had
gtkhtml1.1-1.1.8-1.ximian and from www.usr-local-bin where I had picked
up evo 1.2.1 I has also received gtkhtml-1.1-1.1.8-SuSE.jeo

There is a  slight difference in the numbering sequence and there had
been no indication of a conflict when the today's ximian version was
installed.  Regardless of the lack of obvious conflict, I removed the
SuSE.jeo version so that the only source of packages would be from
ximian, then reinstalled the ximian packages, just to be redundant,
started Evolution and the composer now works.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
