Sorry, I didn't realize that such 'evolution' was my local hostname.

No. Your setup right. I just made the matching too strict.

The command should be relatively safe, but I still didn't want to make
that to too broad.

You could apply it to all emails inside
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/ with the command:

find ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/ -type f -name \*:2,\* -exec sed -i  '0,/^$/ { s!^Content-Type: 
multipart/alternate!Content-Type: multipart/alternative! }' \{\} +


If you imported your pst into a specific route, you don't need to search
on the whole ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/

The sed is simply looking at the headers of each mail and replacing
multipart/alternate into multipart/alternative in the Content-Type:
header.
