Thanks to Christian for the detailed advice concerning how to downgrade
libwebkit2gtk. This does indeed rescue evolution from Debian oblivion.
I encountered one obstacle on the way. I also had a newer version of
libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 that prohibited downgrading libwebkitgtk. So I had
to add this to /etc/apt/preferences, in addition to those advised by Christian:
Package: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1005
I did not have a file /etc/apt/preferences; rather an empty directory
/etc/apt/preferences.d. I simply created the file. Doing so caused no problems.
With grateful thanks to the Evolution team,Best regards,
Van Snyder

@Van Snyder
In reply to your private message, you need to install the two packages below:
user@host:~$ apt search libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37/stable,now 2.32.4-1~deb11u1 amd64 [installed]
Web content engine library for GTK
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-gtk2/stable,now 2.32.4-1~deb11u1 all [installed]
Transitional dummy package
user@host:~$
While, usually, 'stable' currently is a pointer to 'bullseye' and vice versa,
this seems to be broken for 'libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37'; therefore:
*** OLD /etc/apt/preferences ***
Package: *
Pin: release a=bullseye
Pin-Priority: 745
*** NEW /etc/apt/preferences ***
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 745
Package: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1005
The second block enforces the downgrade, you may comment it out afterwise.
Hope this helps, Christian
P.S. I am using GNOME, not KDE.
