Andre:

There is a codeset problem with the external editor but changing the default codeset to UTF-8

doesn't fix the formatting problems. Evolution is passing plain text to the external editor

instead of formatted HTML present in Evolution. The HTML tags are completely missing. This

could possibly be caused by a setting in Webkit. Libwebkitgtk-3_0-0 version 2.4.11-2.10 is

installed on my copy of OpenSuse.
