For example: -- Joe-Bob's sig All text following the double-dash is VERY light grey on white background and therefore illegible. Text resumes black on white after quoted text or other special chars Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create mail with this type of sig 2.try to read any text after the double-dash 3. Expected Results: Render text in black on white.

Signatures are shown in light-grey color by design....

I understand that this "by design", but it's wrong. It makes listserve digests virtually impossible to read, and for what? To make display of sigs inconsistent! Some are normal, some hard to read -- that's a "feature"? It is a piece of eye candy at best, and that's being generous. I'll post a jpeg later today when I get a chance. It's hard to see the impact of this in one screen -- when you're scanning a digest, paging past maybe 25 posts, having 1/3 of them almost disappear is a big PITB. When you're dealing with high-volume lists, there's no other way to keep up.

It's really hard to show this problem in one, or even a couple of jpegs. But imagine yourself scanning a listserve digest like this for threads that interest you, or that you're following. What happens in a wider scan of the digest is that various elements (headers, body, quotes, sigs) pop in and out of "light" mode and normal display, making it really hard to follow what's going on without stopping to read EVERYTHING. Some of us work with listserves with hundreds, even thousands of messages a day, and this is more than inconvenient, it's a show-stopper.
