Pedro, as far as I can see, this is Evolution's fault, as the bug submitter at 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498456
also replied.

The attached message snippet 
(http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11374079/message.txt) 
causing the misbehavior contains

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Eric =?utf-8?Q?B=C3=B6se-Wolf?=)

The interesting part is "=?utf-8?Q?B=C3=B6se-Wolf?="
which matches the syntax given in RFC 2047, section 2 (and contains the pointed 
out "?=").
It uses a known and registered charset (utf-8) and encoding (Q = quoted 
printable).
"B=C3=B6se-Wolf" is the correct encoding of "Böse Wolf".

Thus, as far as I can see, the header is well-formed, so I expected
Evolution to display the name correctly. 

Furthermore, as the screenshot shows, Evolution can display the name correctly, 
but _only_ in the message view (bottom), not in the message list (top)
At least, Evolution should consistently show the header wrongly.

Thus, I suggest to change the status back from invalid to normal or
similar.
