Hi,

the output is escaped UTF8 (that's why it's full of backslashes). I've
posted a workaround few weeks ago, take a look at
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2004-March/036240.html
and send me a note if it won't work for you.

I don't know if it's a bug of Evo or not, however, it may be
workarounded in OOo itself (in the future) according to comments in the
issue 26931 (http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=26931)
which you can vote for to give it more seriousness :-)
