Description:
Description of Problem:
I have one email in my evolution email client. If I reply to this email
and point my cursor on the first line, the text gets written from right
to left. The typed character moves to the right position of the cursors
while the cursor remains in row 1, column 1. The email I was replying to
comes from Spain. A friend wrote me an email from her Yahoo web mailer
account and copied a Spanish web page from www.easyjet.com (some booking
information) into that email. The email consists of two or three mime
part, the first is text/plain and the second is text/html with a lot of
POST data (third is a yahoo footer).

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open the specific email in evolution
2. click on reply
3. start to write in the first row


How often does this happen?
with that particular email: reproducibly always. no other mail.
especially no mail from that sender.

Additional Information:
I could provide the mail, but since it is a personal mail, I don't want
to post it into public. Contact me per PM.

Additional notes for a quick workaround:

Does typing your text at a different position solve the issue?
Does the description in bug 273512 comment 22 help?
