Evolution - reply to an encrypted message

When I receive an encrypted message from a certain friend, Evolution decrypts
and displays the message. When I try to reply to his message though, in the
reply window the original text from him appears to revert to cipher text,
something like this:-
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
> Charset: UTF-8
> Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux)
> Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/

When I fire up my old Kubuntu Hardy installation as a VM and use kmail to
reply to the same message, it works!
When a different friend (I know that she is using Kubuntu Hardy and kmail)
sends me encrypted email, the reply-to window in Evolution works properly.
Any ideas what's going wrong?
I did find references to a couple of RFCs concerning Evolution and messages
that are both signed and encrypted - RFC 1847 and RFC 3156 and an article
saying that Evolution understands the former but not the latter. Would have
thought though that if this was the problem that it would not have been able
to decrypt in the first place?
