The list's welcome message for new subscribers states this explicitly:

   For general user discussion and mutual support related to the GNOME
   Evolution application.

   IMPORTANT: When posting questions always quote your version of
   Evolution (see Help->About). Please use plain text instead of HTML
   format. When replying, please do not top post. Thanks!

A similar text is given on the list's info page at:
https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

The Mailman settings are configured to convert text/html to plaintext,
however that doesn't seem to be happening (I've never looked at it as
my personal Evo configuration is set to ignore HTML anyway).
