border is defined using CSS style, we don't support it yet in gtkhtml
That's odd. Consider the file I'm about to attach, it has a *HUGE* border around the div if displayed by gtkhtml, which is defined in CSS (yes, it is not parsing the style correctly, but it does look at it)

Since version 3.6, Evolution uses WebKit instead of GtkHtml for displaying messages. (And for completeness, Evolution 3.14 is planned to use WebKit also for composing and editing messages so GtkHtml will not receive any fixes anymore.) Hence I am closing this GtkHtml rendering bug report. We are sorry that your request was not handled in time when it was reported but unfortunately manpower is very limited (and does not allow testing every single reported issue separately again either). Please feel free to reopen this report (and move it to the "Evolution" product and the "Mail" component) if the problem described in this bug report still happens in a recent supported Evolution version which uses WebKit (the current stable Evolution version is 3.12).
