Sounds to me like the mails are getting mangled by some third-party mail software somewhere because Evolution ALWAYS tags the charset on outgoing mail.
Also, I noticed that the Content-Transfer-Encoding was "8BIT", Evolution would say "8bit" not "8BIT" so this definitely suggests mangling by some other software - perhaps you should check your mail server software?
