okay, so apparently this isn't fixed.
Apparently evolution is looking for a line like "Hash: SHA1" after the "BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE" line. At least PGP version 2.6.3ia and 2.6.3in don't include such a line, GPG does. Mails signed with GPG seem to be displayed properly. You can test this with Debian Security Advisory. DSA mails by Martin Schulze, which are signed with GPG v1.0.6, get displayed right, but on DSA mails by Wichert Akkerman (using PGP 2.6.3ia) there is missing the whole informational DSA header consisting of several lines. Hope this help, Tomas Cernaj <tcernaj@web.de>

fixed in CVS
The above patch did fix the message display problem but it prevents messages signed inline with PGP V2.x from being correctly verified (see bug 220624). RFC2440, p. 47: The cleartext signed message consists of: [...] - One or more "Hash" Armor Headers, - Exactly one empty line not included into the message digest, [...] If there are no such headers, MD5 is used, an implementation MAY omit them for V2.x compatibility. The first patch didn't remove the empty line, so the signature could not be verified. I'll attach a fix for this (evo 1.0.2).
