Apparently, Evolution is not decoding the Mime-encoded attachments.
Haven't found a setting in Evolution to accomplish this.
But you can still do it yourself.
There used to be mmencode and uuencode for this, on SUSE 8.2 I only found
uudeview. 
So if you copy the text above, including the boundaries, to a file named tmp,
then execute 'uudeview tmp', the result is 'Document-1.sla' containing this:

<SCRIBUSUTF8 Version="1.1.2" >

   </PAGEOBJECT>
  </PAGE>
  <PAGE NUM="0" NAM="Normal" LEFT="0" NumVGuides="0" HorizontalGuides=""
MNAM="" NumHGuides="0" VerticalGuides="" />
 </DOCUMENT>
</SCRIBUSUTF8>

Another utility I often use for decoding stuff like this is the Linux version
of Stuffit (containing 'stuff' and 'unstuff'), obtainable from
http://www.stuffit.com.
'unstuff tmp' gives the same result.
