Yep, Evo is unusable for me without this plugin, as 95% of the mail we
receive at work is nasty HTML.  :-@

It is working for me, although some weird non-standard HTML-formatted
messages are shown as an attachment.  The long-term solution is HTML mail
to be forbidden somehow, or to boycott it by rejecting it on SMTP level.

It is marked as "experimental" (available in Debian by the
evolution-plugins-experimental package).  Look at the configure options,
IIRC it is "--enable-plugins=experimental".
