Your Evolution says, it's 1.4.4... ;-)

You are composing text/plain messages. Most of the features (like
emoticons, which are images) are only available in HTML mode.

Enable HTML mode in the Composer (actual message):
 Format / [x] HTML

Enable HTML mails by default (if you want to):
 Tools / Settings / Composer Preferences / General
 [x] Format messages in HTML
