Yes, quotes and sig are good now. But there is still your From:

This is labelled Latin-1, but in fact decodes to:

Which is wrong: That would be raw UTF-8 for "é". Most probably you
entered your name in muttrc while in UTF-8 mode. Just retype it and all
should be right. Please feel free to send me a private mail if you want
a final confirmation.
BTW: This doesn't mean you can't use UTF-8 mode, just that if you
choose to, you have to convert everything: sigs, aliases, names, all
format strings, attribution lines, etc... All these are expected to be
in used $charset.
This makes difficult switches between different terminals with
different $charsets, and impossible simultaneous usage in different
ones. I'd like if there was another variable, say $config_charset,
defining in which charset configuration files (muttrc, mutt-aliases,
sigfile, etc...) are written.
This way you could have fixed config files in one $config_charset,
and use terminals with each one it's $charset. As mail editor uses
$charset, Mutt would have to convert say sig from $config_charset to
$charset at the beginning. This $config_charset could be used as default
charset for attaching text files too (see my previous mail).

You're welcome!
Bye! Alain.
