I have a question about viewing HTML emails in the Evolution mail client. Basically, I am receiving some emails that look lovely in Thunderbird but not in Evolution because the HTML rendering of Evolution isn't as advanced.

Does anyone know how to improve the HTML rendering of Evolution? e.g. a plugin, tip, code patch, etc...

The closest I've got is to right-click the email, "Save As...", save as a html file, then open in Firefox. Not exactly streamline!

What emails can't it display well? We use the subversion revision control system which is set up to send an email whenever someone commits via svnnotify all nicely coloured via the --handler HTML::ColorDiff -d parameter. When Evolution fails to use the colours, I find it very had to read the raw diff.
