mozilla mail faded text

[Richard E Miles]

I am using mozilla mail to view my mail. I am recieving the digest 
fedora-list mail. The mail seems to be presented in faded text for 
signature portions and in some cases the header and subsequent message 
body text also. It returns to normal when a quoted section occurs but 
will go faded again when it hits a signature.

Is there a setting I can set to stop this faded behavior? I have tried 
all kinds of character coding settings but nothing seems to change. It 
would seem there must be some setting that I am missing to prevent this 
behavior.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's not much help but I have a suggestion.

If you switched to the normal messages you could use the message filters 
to move the list messages to a custom folder, and you could use the 
excellent threading features to make the most of the information in the 
messages.

This might not be much help... but there might be some sort of option 
for the color of quoted text. Something like "When displaying quoted 
plain text messages:". Note that I am using Thunderbird, and it is 
listed under the "Display" settings. I don't have Mozilla Mail so I 
cannot actually verify it, but they should (hopefully) be very similar. 
Anyway, mine is defaulted to a gray color.

I use Thunderbird (also from Mozilla), which I believe is far better and 
can be kept seperate from the associated browser (Firefox); not that I 
want to because Firefox happens to be my preferred browser now (even on 
Windoze).
