I'm on openSUSE 12.3, it works for me.  It has always worked for me.

Do you have your key set in Edit -> Accounts -> Mail Accounts ->
{account} -> Security : OpenPGP Key ID ?

If you run seahorse [Passwords & Keys] is your key listed?  The "Key ID"
there matches the one you have set in Evolution?

Either (a) you do not have a key set, (b) GPG support is not installed,
or (c) the gnome-session is not starting the agent.

In gnome-session-properties "Startup Programs" is "Certificate and Key
Storage" listed and enabled, as well as the "GPG Password Agent"?
