This is a well known problem with digests and signature dimming.  There's not
much you can do other than turn off signature dimming.  Some mailing list
software is smarter than the average bear, and will convert the signature
string in the digest version so this doesn't happen. But most mail software
does not, and you're left with everything from the first signature down appears
in grey.

If it boths you, go into your preferences and turn off signature dimming.

I suppose you can ask the mailing list folks for the horde project if they
can do something about this, but it is likely their software won't allow
for changing this...

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
