This is, um, mind-boggling.
If you don't want people to have a bitmap of your signature, don't send
them a bitmap of your signature.

That's because Mozilla defaults to Javascript being switched off. For
security reasons.

You realise, of course, that the IE and NS users are also able to switch
off their Javascript, and those web pages which try to prevent you from
right-clicking are therefore just an insult to the reader's intelligence.
As is trying the same thing in email.
If you don't want people to have a bitmap of your signature, don't send
them a bitmap of your signature.
If you want to sign your emails with something that constitutes a signature
- something that quite definitely shows that this email is from you, and
which can't be forged - there is a way. But I'm not going to tell you what
it is here, because these are developer newsgroups - you should go to the
Mozilla end user newsgroups, which are listed at the end of the draft FAQ:
