I'd like to report that this issue seems to be fixed in Oneiric but still exists in Lucid and Maverick (and probably Natty).
Note that I only had the issue if I did not have the public key of the sender imported to GnuPG.  Once the (current) public key was available, evolution was able to decipher the block in the older versions as well.

Title:
  HTML formatted GPG encrypted email not properly handled

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  New
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  If you receive a PGP (GPG) encrypted email from someone using
  Thunderbird, and the sender formatted the email using HTML, evolution
  will not recognize it as an enciphered block.  If the sender chooses
  the text format option when writing the email, all is well.  I assume
  Thunderbird to Thunderbird PGP HTML formatted email works fine.  It
  would be nice for evolution to support this as well.

  I am able to send HTML PGP encrypted email to Thunderbird users
  without a problem.  I just can't reciprocate.  So I require them to
  format email to me in text if they want to encrypt - not very
  neighborly.

  Not a bug really, just a cool feature that is in Thunderbird.  My
  Windows Thunderbird using friends are busting on Linux again 'cause of
  this...
