You should be able to click on TOOLS => SETTINGS and then go through the
options for composing and viewing email - you CAN choose to NOT load
images from the internet - which helps greatly in reducing "spam read
time" - but if someone does send you and HTML or RTF formatted email, it
will view it. When you reply, however, your reply will be in text as
opposed to HTML or RTF...

That's one of the settings you can change in the COMPOSER options
dialogue.

You might want to go to the Ximian site and get on the Evolution email
list for further information - as well, though, there are heaps of
documentation ON the Ximian site for Evolution...
