No it's not, your messages are signed using a SHA256 digest.  At the
bottom of a signed/encrypted message in Evolution you will see a
coloured bar showing the PGP status - green if everything is OK, yellow
if valid but not verifiable and red if something wrong.  Clicking on
the icon at the far left end of the bar will give you more information.
The message I'm replying to says:

    gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1
    gpg: Signature made Mon 08 Feb 2016 08:48:43 GMT using RSA key ID 7C174863

Why do you think it's using SAH-1?
