James, some people use signature blocks which contain their names,
contact details, amusing quotes, whatever. These can be added,
automatically, by telling SM where the sig file is.
Then, at the end of the real message, SM adds a sig delimiter (a line
consisting of two dashes followed by a space) and then adds, usually in
a lighter text, the sig file.
If things are happening right, when that message is quoted the sig
delimiter and the sig file are not quoted.
But, if things don't happen right, the sig delimiter might not be
removed, so anything after the sig delimiter is in the lighter text.
Can be a real problem if people top post, i.e. reply at the top of the
message.

Okay; that gives me enough information to know that it's not the
problem, since I don't use sig files of any type and the light/dark
fonts on my screen appear totally random. I don't see any connection to
sig files or the lack thereof. It could be because I don't know where
to look but I don't think so. I'd still appreciate any suggestions
because it is a PITA, as the light type is at times difficult for my
tri-focals to make out...
Thanks,
James
