Hi,

Evolution isn't the only GNOME app I've got installed, but to my
knowledge it's the only one I'm using. I would be surprised, if another
app I'm using is a GNOME app, too.

To me receiving "Nautilus" related messages, is the same as receiving
(other) spam. IOW at the moment I receive lots of spam from Discourse
GNOME.

It already starts with the multipart messages sent by Discourse. I can't
disable HTML, since administrative bodies etc. tend to send HTML emails.

HTML. HTML is a PITA. I don't expect proper emails from administrative
bodies etc., but from BSD and Linux communities I expect a little bit
more familiarity related to emails.
