hmm. maybe there's a scoring mechanism, coupled with a macro,
that you could cobble together to have mutt work that way?
hoped for someone to have done it for me:)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #51 from Will Trillich [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:
Interested in CUSTOMIZING MUTT to work the way you'd like?
are you *sure* those newbie tips are randomly added to your anwsers?
announcement --
okay, people, i DO have my tip-script-sig accept a
collection of arguments that it uses to pare down the list
from which the actual shown tip is selected. but often i
find that a pertinent tip is chosen randomly -- and when
that happens, i mention the serendipity factor. when it
doesn't provide a germane* tip i can force it to do so, as i
did in this case.
so, no, in this case, i skewed the curve towards a mutt-specific
tip.
# ...my perl 'select-a-tip' algorithm...
my $match = join ,map{return 0 unless /\Q$_\E/io;\n} @ARGV;
$match = eval sub {local \$_ = shift;\n$match return 1;\n} if $match;
$match = sub { 1 } unless $match;
my $txt = '?';
my $tip = 0;
my $num = 0;
my $ct = 0;
while ( DATA ) {
$tip++;
if ( $match-($_) ) { # matches all commandline args (if any)
if ( rand() 1 / ++$ct ) {
chomp($txt = $_);
$num = $tip;
}
}
}
* by the way -- speaking of filtering 'randomized' signatures
based on message content, is there any way to have mutt pipe a
quoted reply-to message through a script before sending it to the
editor? it'd be nice to have my ~/.signature-debian script scan
the message for key words and then pick an appropriate tip
automatically...
who's got the mutt clue stick?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #22 from Will Trillich [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:
SECURITY-CONSCIOUS? Good! Here's how you can use apt-get to keep
your system up-to-date with the latest security patches: in
/etc/apt/sources.list include these lines--
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security potato/updates main
contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb http://security.debian.org potato/updates main contrib non-free
Thereafter, a quick apt-get update apt-get upgrade is all
you need to keep the gremlins at bay.

There may be a specific way, but you could always just define your editor to be a script which scans the message for keywords, appends a sig, and pops up your real editor. -- Alan Shutko [EMAIL PROTECTED] - In a variety of flavors!
