Evolution's developers have admitted that if PGP/MIME messages are=20
generated to RFC2015, the sig will fail to verify.  However the=20
majority of MUAs don't support PGP/MIME and where they do, the vast=20
majority support only RFC2015 not the later RFC3156.  This means the=20
majority of messages generated by PGP/MIME will have a sig that fails=20
to verify in Evolution.......

That is why I send me messages by inline coding and why I haven't up to=20
now used Evolution.  I see from the list that Evo is now supporting=20
inline coding, so it might be worth another look.
