Why are my signature block and my new image ALWAYS grayed-out?

This has been the case for years, can't remember for how long. All I want is for my signature and the new html seal image from my employer to be nice and black. But it's always gray instead, even when I use a BOLD font. I know this is a little thing, but it's gotten under my skin and I don't know how to fix it and haven't seen it addressed anywhere on the website. I just got help from you on how to attach my seal image and it looks great, but it's not full color. Can y'all help with this, please? I've tried to attach the file of the message but can't figure out why it won't upload. If you really need to see it, perhaps you could assist me with that, too?

Chosen solution

Thunderbird 22.0 beta 1 (becoming effective with the 24.0 release) extends the display-color preferences UI to match that of Firefox. As a consequence, signature and its link colors will no longer be constants but deemphasized by opacity.

If you wish to change this back, insert the following into your "userContent.css" file.

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

Outgoing messages

To ensure that your own signature is displayed without opacity in messages others receive from you, add the following code to your signature and check the "Use HTML" box:

<style>
.moz-txt-sig, .moz-signature {
  opacity: inherit !important;
}
</style>
