In your haste to dismiss me, you have completely missed my point.  I
don't know what point you thought I was making.  Whatever it was, I
promise you I was not just being pedantic.

There is no officially recognized set of "Linux MUAs", so there is no
way to generalize about whether or not they are broken.  Your question
is unanswerable.

There are probably dozens of different MUAs that can be used with a
[GNU/Linux|POSIX|BSD|Unix|Schmunix] system.  The only way I can
understand your question is as a request for a list of every single
one and a description of its behavior.  Since I'm not going to answer
that question, all I could say is "probably some other Linux MUAs are
'broken' like Evolution and others are not."  That seems unhelpful to
me.  But if that is what you wanted to know, I am glad I could be of
service.

If you had a more easily answerable question, like "can anyone
recommend a good MUA whose behavior is different from Evolution's" or
"Does anyone know about the behavior of Mutt", you might try asking
that question instead.

Yes.
