I see. Thanks for the information. Now I understand the situation more. 

I'm using Fedora Core 4. I think the Fedora project is slow in picking up fixes in gtkhtml package.

Here is what I have:

$ rpm -q evolution
evolution-2.2.3-2.fc4

$ rpm -q --requires evolution | grep html
libgtkhtml-3.6.so.18

$ rpm -q libgtkhtml-3.6.so.18
package libgtkhtml-3.6.so.18 is not installed

$ rpm -q --whatprovides libgtkhtml-3.6.so.18
gtkhtml3-3.6.2-1

$ rpm -q --info gtkhtml3-3.6.2-1
