Just confirming that you're referring to his email with message id: 
4cd89656f28227f26e2609705bc02285164f4ce2.camel@xxxxxxxxxx
(though that may not be the ID that his system creates).

If I hit reply, the whole thing got quoted, including the list footer.

I notice it's not a text email:

	Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
	Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

I wonder if that fools evolution's replying?  Replying to most textual
messages (plain text or HTML) does trim off signatures as expected
(ones not from this list).  And so far, every base64 encoded message
that I've found with a signature doesn't get it trimmed of.

For what it's worth, I've found almost all messages from this list to
be base64 encoded (even when I can see no good reason why).  I managed
to find one or two that aren't, and their signatures don't get stripped
off, either.

In the past, when it came to list mail, and trying out various
different email clients, some only regard the last "dash dash space
carriage-return" signature separater on the page as the one to strip
off, others picked on the first one.  The clients that promote top
posting (and endless stacking of messages upon reply upon reply upon
reply) often don't strip signatures at all, nor have signature
separators in their own postings.

So, I'm just used to either selecting only the portion of an email I
want to reply to, or always hand-editing the message I reply to.  It's
been a very long time since I found Evolution has presented a blank
page when I tried to reply to someone's badly formatted message. 
Replying to HTML used to be a pain, you'd try to split someone's
stream-of-conciousness three-pages-as-one-paragraph posting into a real
paragraph, and it'd delete the whole block of text.  I'd have to copy
and paste into a real plain text editor, like vim, to remove all the
non-textual crapola, first.
