Thanks, Adam. I will remember that. [I only knew double-click a file
to open it ...] That requires to open BibDesk first, but only a few
clicks more ...

\`{e} seems to work well for me so far. :D
Couldn't BibDesk open the file first, gives me some proper warning,
and allow me to modify *within* BibDesk? For a naive end-user, it
should always go like this:
double click a file -> BibDesk opens it, regardless of the encoding
etc, but warns you that there are some problems in what fields -> the
end-user manually corrects the errors within BibDesk.
Of course, it would be much better if BibDesk could also do the last
step for me. :-)
