This last update to 2.8 - the mail program changes the original message
font
when I call to forward the message. The message looks faint (the
opposite
of bolding). The comments I add are my regular chosen font.
I don't like it. I hope it was it a mistake that will be fixed.

SM mail forwards a message as ATTACHMENT (at least mine does. But I
rarely
forward so I don't know if it has always done this or not). You don't see
the message so I don't understand your complaint. but I don't have the
latest SM. I have 2.6 because of an extension that won't work beyond it.
So,
this started with 2.8? Another reason then to keep 2.6.
OE doesn't change the font, font size, or color if you forward a message
and
it places the forwarded message at the bottom. I continue to use OE
primarily because it is the only email program that has good sense and
doesn't do silly things like you have mentioned.
But OE (which you are using) is NOT compliant with the various RFCs that
specify Internet standards and conventions, including RFC 3676. If it
were compliant, John's signature would have been pruned from your quote
of his original message.
So, if I was using SM or Thunderbird mail client this would have been
removed:
"JohnW-Mpls"
I can manually remove signatures if that bothers this group. I mostly post
in GRC.com NGs and the server will not accept long quotes in replies. So,
there you either crop a great deal out or you get around it like I am doing
now by using interleaved reply.
In any case, Thunderbird has the option to quote the forwarded message
within the body of your message. On the menu bar, select [Tools>
Options]. On the Options window, select the Composition icon. On the
Composition pane, select the General tab. On the first line of the
General tab, select Inline in the pull-down list.
In newsgroup messages proper signature lines will automatically be
stripped. What is a proper sig line?

So ...
"JohnW-Mpls" will not be stripped. Unless it is preceded by:
--
That is, dash, dash, space, carriage return. As in:
--
JohnW-Mpls
Try left dragging your mouse to highlight the text and you'll see the
space after the double dash.
My sig below is like that. dash dash space return Ed Mullen ...

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
