I gave the original snippit a test.
The mail was in latin1, so I had to convert the file to utf8.
Once I did that texexec and dvips processed it w/o error.
The resulting postscript had the correct accent.
The relevant chunk of the postscript is:
%%Page: 1 1
TeXDict begin 1 0 bop 1738 77 a Fa(1)-9 563 y(Maths)33
b(with)g(accen)m(ts:)1622 773 y(in)m(ter)m(\023)-46 b(es)p
eop end
%%Trailer
Where you can see that the acute (\023) was overlapped
on the suceeding e, rather than using a precomposed é.
This is on a gentoo linux¹ box w/ tetex-3.0.

¹ Have to add that now that gentoo has bsd and osx support. :)
