More likely, the messages are using "flowed text", and evolution's code
for handling it got broken at some point. You can check by doing View ->
Message Display -> Email Source and seeing if the Content-Type has
"format=flowed" at the end.

If that's not it, you should file a bug at bugzilla.ximian.com and
attach a complete message that demonstrates the bug to it.
