Hi Hugo,
I did make some test with your last post:
Outlook-incoming as Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"
If signing “something” (your choice) and resending, signature is broken.
If signing „something“ and resending, signature is broken.
(Word-2010; incoming Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable)
If signing "something" and resending, signature works as expected.
(Standard for Outlook-2010, Thunderbird-31.3; incoming Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit)
Most used common keyboards are using SHIFT+2 for quotation marks. This results in above shown results, depending on charset and program used.
Your (German) keyboard seems to be a scientific one with some additional chars enabled:

My Outlook-2010 (and Thunderbird too) generates "something" by default, not “something” (your choice), or „something“.
Settings are set to "iso-8859-1", if new message is generated. If replying, incoming charset is used.
I didn't notice such a behavior before!?
Regards, Chris
