Looks fine from Outlook 2000, but then again it would. Your version of
Evolution (1.2.2) is much more updated than mine on the webserver, but I
suspect I'd get no problems there either.

Bollocks to it - OE is broken and one of the biggest wastes of ones and
zeros ever to grace this planet after 'doze versions 1, 2 and 3. Oh, and ME,
which should never have existed, ever.
Out of all the flamewars I read on USENET most of 'em are either from or
directed to OE users who think it's a USENET client AND a mail program AND a
virus transfer agent. It does too many things by default that no self
respecting mail client should, ie the 'preview pane' with FULL (micro$oft)
HTML support, automatic decoding/opening of attachments etc, and before the
OE supporters start jumping down my neck I KNOW these things can be turned
off or disabled, mostly, but the vast majority OE users wouldn't know where
to look or what to do.

*successfully bites tongue about web pages created with frontpage express*
