 The 'dim' effect is produced by a CSS file messageBody.css inside 
 omni.ja.  The file omni.ja is in the program directory.

Yes I found that, that is how I knew what the attribute is that
fouls things up.

 You may be able to modify messageBody.css to achieve what you need.

 To open omni.ja, see
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/About_omni.ja_%28formerly_omni.jar%29
 Look inside omni.ja for the file 
 ./chrome/classic/skin/classic/messenger/messageBody.css

Unfortunately this packing of the files (omni.ja) makes it much more
difficult to do minor tuning.  In the past I could have used a simple
search-and-replace program like gsar to modify the file after install.
Now with omni.ja that kind of thing is much more difficult.

However, there is also an omission in the program.  Before, I had
a search-and-replace in place to add a line like this:

pref(general.config.filename, mozilla.cfg);

to the default config file.  I was unhappy when I found that everything
was moved into omni.ja and this had become impossible, but at that time it
turned out that the program reads the entire contents of the directory
default/pref after startup, and I could put a fresh .js file there
after install and it would pickup that line.

Now, I think that it should do the same for .css files found in the
chrome directory.  Then I could just put a custom .css there and all
would be OK without having to fiddle with user profiles.

I don't have the answer myself.  You may find a better option than 
unpacking and repacking omni.ja, here:

 A HTML signature is embedded in a div class=moz-signature for which

 So the HTML the user designed is shown dim, including company logo etc.

 SeaMonkey has always displayed signatures in HTML messages in grey. 
 Maybe you had an extension like quotecolors set to not display 
 signatures in grey. :-/

No, this started only in version 2.19
I noticed it in 2.20 because I did not install 2.19

Yes, Rob, we know. A tangent was taken to discuss sig stripping and how 
the grey was used to indicate this. I am well aware that you were

I'm fairly certain the answer will be no. That said, it's a relatively

for the existence of the string in the user userContent.css and add it

Sure.  But the login script already has become very convoluted due to
all the workarounds for problems that are never solved.  I prefer
solutions that need to be put only in installation scripts for the
specific program, not in the script run at every login.  It would be
reasonable when a solution that is presented per user is also available
per installation  (like e.g. the solution for extensions/plugins).
Maybe the program could read and add all .css files found in the chrome
subdirectory in the installation directory before it reads the
userContent.css?  Like it does for defaults/pref for .js files.

Well, we probably won't be installing 2.20 anyway due to other flaws.
We appear to be stuck to 2.14.1 because more and more things that are
critical to us are being broken.  (e.g. IMAP mail, composer)

In the Mozillazine article I found a solution that can be included
in the signature itself.  At least it solves the problem for the
display of our signature in other people's mail should they have
upgraded.
Of course it creates invalid HTML.  style is not allowed in body.
E.g. roundcubemail does not handle it correctly when composing.
But should we ever upgrade, at least the mail sent from today will
have the signature displayed correctly in that new version.  Maybe
that is sufficient.

I looked at about:config and entered sig in the filter line and, like

However, I did see a about:config entry for 
mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator. Maybe if you try

 Do you happen to know what the CSS attribute is that controls this

Ok by looking in omni.ja I already found that it is caused by a
style item opacity: 0.5 that has been added.  Unlikely that it
can be controlled via a pref.

I could override it with a userContent.css containing:

/* : signature : */

.moz-txt-sig,
.moz-signature {
  opacity: 1.0 !important;
}

this works, but of course it has to be done per profile.

Is there some way of putting that file in the program installation directory
and have it effective for all users?

text msg, as I use. Don't know if it was different in HTML composition.


That's definitely a new feature since 2.19. Prior to that, HTML sigs
displayed with the same intensity as normal text.


Older than that, by at least a year, but I'm not sure how far back it goes.


Sorry, I overlooked the HTML bit above, I withdraw the remark.

Dimming the sig in plain-text messages is old.

cAN't you just delete the double dash?

 Rob, as far as I know, the sig file has always shown dim, at least in
 text msg, as I use. Don't know if it was different in HTML composition.

Oviously wrong; it did not work like that in 2.14.1 dated Nov 30, 2012.

Yes.  That is what the mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator
pref does.

But that has no influence on the dim display of a HTML signature, only
for text signatures.

I did not notice mention of HTML in the OP's note, but it seems reasonable that an 
HTML sig would control its own display intensity.

Was my message that unclear?  Several people seem to have missed the
part HTML mail, and I even explicitly mentioned that it was working
that way for text mail long before.

 but it seems reasonable that an 
 HTML sig would control its own display intensity.

But it doesn't.

A HTML signature is embedded in a div class=moz-signature for which
there is a fixed stylesheet with opacity: 0.5 in the latest versions.
So the HTML the user designed is shown dim, including company logo etc.
Not good.

No, this does not happen.
I also don't see a UI to control this.


Maybe not with HTML mail, but it certainly does in plain text. I tried 
with David's message and, sure enough, the reply did not contain his 
signature.

SeaMonkey has always displayed signatures in HTML messages in grey. 
Maybe you had an extension like quotecolors set to not display 
signatures in grey. :-/


In any case, you can use the instructions at

This would seem to be something different, Chris. I use HTML signatures 
with colours specified in various accounts. Since 2.19, the signatures 
display in the same colour, but with reduced intensity. Dim, as the OP 
put it.


Personally, I dislike it, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a bug.

Cheers,

trane
