It doesn't. Join the crowd :-(

Same way you do it anywhere else in your Desktop. It's not an
Evo-specific thing. I type most of my mail in Spanish (see: ÃÃÃÃÃÃÃÂÂ).
I just use the KDE utility (under Control Panel -> Regional and
Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout) to select "US English w/ Dead Keys" as
my default and that's it. I assume Gnome must have something similar but
I don't use it.
