Milan,

I imported the message from a file (didn't think to try that) to "On
This Computer" and it displays nearly perfectly - the aircraft is
incorrectly oriented (E rather than NE - a font issue?) in the header
details of the message pane.
If I import it into my regular mail account the import fails. So the
issue looks to be communication between Courier and Evolution. I will
also raise the matter on the Courier mailing list and see what happens.

Neil.
