[evolution-patches] Fix for bug #48753:Pasting text from Evolution (email message) to Emacs obliterates the newlines]

[Antonio Xu <antonio xu sun com>]

Hello Larry,

I have created a new patch for this bug. After source code research, I 
found Rodo's patch for the get_length() function in htmlobject.c cause 
the regression, that cause clueflow's length aways be zero and cannot be 
selected. In my new patch, I add a new function named "get_length"in 
clueflow, This function will return the real length  of clueflow. I hope 
you can review this patch. If you won't agree my fix, Can you give me 
some advice to help me fix this bug.

Thanks
Anto
