        Hi,
that's https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1197 , fixed
for the current 3.38.2. I've not been able to build an update for
Fedora due to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1899892
It sits there for approximately two weeks, which is a shame.

I'd not call it non-existent, when the only issue is with the tables,
or at least when the markup is removed. You are right the tables are
not covered well. It's a bug. Feel free to file it against Evolution.
I do not know how well a multiline cell of a table can be converted
into the plain text to cover layout closely.

        Bye,
