Have you tried changing the char encoding?  (View->Character Encoding) 
I find that changing to UTF8 or UTF7 helps a lot.

And as others have said, it's not particularly a bug in evo afaics -
it's that the mail doesn't specify the character encoding.  I presume
the other mail programs you have default to the same encoding as is used
in the email, so it appears to render OK, whereas evo defaults to 7-bit
ASCII (probably as specified in the standards) and so it doesn't render
properly.
