When you were telling me about that before, I could not understand what you were talking about. I didn't know that you received Today in the word by email. I don't get mine that way. I have always used Firefox.

I have mentioned this before in a separate thread, but now have more information. Here's the issue:

Evolution in F11 is not properly rendering certain HTML characters correctly. I have a daily e-mail I receive where this is clearly highlighted (from Moody's Bible Institute).A snippet of the source HTML in the e-mail for today looks like this:

    Some people tend to like their spirituality quick and easy.
    After all, there’s work to do, places to go, people to see.
    Holiness? I’ll listen to a podcast while I exercise.
    Servanthood? Our Sunday school class is doing a DVD series on
    that. Bible study? <i>The One-Minute Bible</i>&#151;and yes,

    Who&#146;s got time for that? 

Evolution does not properly render certain characters in this HTML message. It displays the above source as follows:

    Some people tend to like their spirituality quick and easy.
    After all, there’s work to do, places to go, people to see.
    Holiness? I’ll listen to a podcast while I exercise.
    Servanthood? Our Sunday school class is doing a DVD series on
    that. Bible study? The One-Minute Bible—and yes, there really is
    such a thing—is a lifesaver. Patience? Who’s got time for that?

So, as a test, I took the entire source HTML from today's e-mail message, saved it off as a separate file, and then tried loading it into Firefox. Firefox renders it properly! It looks like this:

    Some people tend to like their spirituality quick and easy.
    After all, there’s work to do, places to go, people to see.
    Holiness? I’ll listen to a podcast while I exercise.
    Servanthood? Our Sunday school class is doing a DVD series on
    that. Bible study? The One-Minute Bible—and yes, there really is
    such a thing—is a lifesaver. Patience? Who’s got time for that?

Each of the above examples were pasted directly from their corresponding applications. I believe this is clearly a bug in Evolution, and it is one that showed up in F11. Evolution in F10 _does not_ have this problem.

I've opened this problem up as Bugzilla number 503500 filed against rawhide. You can get the HTML file I used to test this as an attachment from there.

Cheers,

Chris
