When creating your message there will be a -- placed in front of your
saved signature in TB. As far as I understand, this two characters are of
sans-serif type and will be automatically added - you can not change or
prevent them. As soon as you are using a different character type in
your HTML message, place your cursor below your text but above your
signature (just in front of --) you may incidentally change your
character type to sans-serif even though your message is formatted with
an other character type. The result is a mess: you have different formats
within your message even if you did not intend to change formatting at
all. Sometimes this is a very peculiar experience.
Do you have this when creating HTML messages or do I have something wrong
in my 'new message' settings (or signature)?

It's actually "-- ". Dash dash space. The Standard Sig Delimiter.

can add style information for it to make it use a different font or make
other visual changes (like suppress the opaque look that it has), but
unfortunately it appears that many other mail programs ignore the inline
style information that you need to insert for that.
(it has to be in the head section but in this case it is in the body
section, thunderbird/seamonkey still acts upon it but microsoft outlook
will ignore it)
The problem you mention is indeed very apparent. There should be some
option to make the signature read-only, so one cannot inadvertently type
over it, delete part of it, etc.
