Evolution Fails to Properly Render Certain HTML Markup

[Christopher A. Williams]

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>—and yes,
        there really is such a thing—is a lifesaver. Patience?
        Who’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
