Evolution 3.12 works fine.

The text editor for Evolution versions > 3.12 is broken
and unrepairable.

Evolution 3.16 has very poor behavior when replying to
text emails with tabs.  A ">" character is added before
every tab in the reply.

Evolution 3.18 occasionally uses the Non-Breaking-Space
(NBSP) character instead of the standand ASCII 32 space
which breaks applying patches sent with that email client.
