You missed the whole text that explains it, including a link at the
bottom of the previous message. :)

However, for you I recommend this method,

- Download the "Quote Colors",
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/quote-colors/
$ wget
https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/_files/_attachments/170/quote_colors-0.3-tb+sm.xpi

- Extract an Install Manifest file
$ unzip quote_colors-0.3-tb+sm.xpi install.rdf

- Edit it with your favorite text editor,
e.g.
$ mousepad install.rdf
change line 16 - Thunderbird
        <em:maxVersion>3.0.*</em:maxVersion>
to
        <em:maxVersion>17.0.*</em:maxVersion>
and
change line 24 - SeaMonkey Mail
        <em:maxVersion>2.0.*</em:maxVersion>
to
        <em:maxVersion>2.2.*</em:maxVersion>

- Replace the original file with the updated one
$ zip -r quote_colors-0.3-tb+sm.xpi install.rdf

- Install Add-on From File…
