I don't use signatures in emails, but I think it's supposed to be a lighter shade to differentiate it from the main body text.

You could use <b> </b> tags to make it bold. See http://www.freeemailtutorials.com/mo...lSignature.cwd for an example.

A signature is a block of text normally found at the end of every email message. It typically will contain your name, title, job title, company, email address, and a phone number at which you can be reached. Most email applications allow you to select a signature to use on all outgoing messages.

There are two steps for creating a signature in Thunderbird: creating a signature file, then selecting it in the Thunderbird account settings menu. Separate instructions are posted below for Windows and Macintosh users.

Windows:

1. Click the Start button, then click Run.
2. In the Run window that appears, type notepad and then press OK.
3. Use the open Notepad window to create your signature. Design your signature to appear exactly the way you want it to look in Thunderbird.
4. Once you have created you signature you will need to save it. Click File on the Notepad main menu and select Save. A window will appear that will allow you to name and select a location to save your signature. We suggest saving the signature somewhere you can easily find it (like My Documents), but not somewhere where it is always visible and in the way (like your desktop.)
5. In Thunderbird, click Tools on the main menu, then select Account Settings from the list that appears. A window will appear that will allow you to update your account information.
6. In Account Settings, click the check box next to "Attach this signature:".
7. Next, click the Choose button located to the right of the field just below the "Attach this signature" button. Select the signature file you created and then press Open.
8. Choose OK from the original Account Settings window.

Your signature will now be added to all outgoing messages in Thunderbird. To make any further changes to the signature, all you have to do is edit the signature file. This also means that if you delete the signature file, the signature will no longer appear in your Thunderbird email messages.

Including an image in your signature

To include an image in your signature, include the image in the message in the normal way.

If the image file is on your computer, then Thunderbird attaches the file in each message that you send, so that people who receive your message can see the image.

If the image is on a web server, then you can choose not to attach the file. However, in this case people who receive your message might not see the image if they choose to block remote images for privacy reasons.

If you create a signature file using some other program, ensure that the image tag contains the complete URL of the image file, not just the file name. Thunderbird requires a complete URL so that it can attach the image.
