Description of Problem:   
I received an e-mail today, and hit 'reply'.    
When the reply compose window appeared, the  
cursor was not at the beginning, but immediately  
after the date ('On Fri, 2003-08-22')  If I typed  
there, it worked correctly.  If I click before  
the 'On' to insert text, everything I type is  
reversed, as I type it.  (Text appears to the  
right of cursor as I type).  
  
Looks like this:

On Fri, 2003-08-22 at 13:10, ... (Original  
Message continues)  
  
This ONLY occurs on THIS specific message.  Never  
seen it before or since.  
  
It appears that it's only if I type in the first  
16 characters of the reply that it happens.  
   
Steps to reproduce the problem:   
1.  Download and save  
http://www.ericksonfamily.com/bugzilla/mbox.bug
200002.  Import mbox.bug into Evolution 
(File..Import..Single File..Type: Mbox)  
3.  Hit 'reply' to specific message  
4.  Click within first 16 bytes of reply  
5.  Type  
   
Actual Results:   
 Text is reversed as you type it.  
   
Expected Results:   
 Text to be typed normally, with cursor advancing  
normally.  
   
How often does this happen?    
 Every time I try to reply to that message.  
   
Additional Information:   
 Same thing happens on Evolution 1.4.3 running on 
a Gentoo installation, as well as a Red Hat 8 
installation, with this e-mail message. 
 
 A simple workaround is to type the text  
somewhere else (kwrite, etc.), and paste it into  
the body of the message.  Pasted text is not  
reversed.
