Perhaps not, but there are also 6 subsequently filed bugs that were
closed as duplicates, and probably many more people who just don't know
that bug reports can be used to request features in addition to
reporting things that are broken.

That's disappointing, but understandable. Do you think the difficulty
of implementing this is unique to Evolution's design, or is it just the
way things are in general? I only ask because of the prevalence of this
feature in other email clients I've used.
