I've resorted to a similar solution : I edit the files in
~/evolution/signatures/ with a text editor and the accents are OK when
the signature is included in the message.

I've notice something though. When I first tried to edit my signature
with Kedit 1.0.3, it was fine, but with gedit (2.0.2), I had the same
problem with accents. 

I looked at gedit's Preferences and changed the parameter for "During
saving" (sorry, I don't know the real title in English).

It was set to "Use original file encoding if possible".

I changed it to "Use current locale's encoding if possible". And it
worked!

My locale encoding is, I think, ISO-8859-1. The same as what is defined
in Evolution. Obviously, the Evo signature editor does not take into
account Evolution character encoding or the locale's encoding. Or takes
it from somewhere, but where?!

I'll try that!

Thanks!
