Re: Mail Cignitchers

[Jude DaShiell]

The fortunes-mod program can be used in a script to put a little random 
text into a signature file.  I'd use rot47 which is a variation on rot13 
though for the email address in that signature though.  It may help cut 
down on spam.  I've spotted several pieces of spam with the older 
signature file I use on one system and the sending address that was used 
for me included the < and > signs I used to mark off the email address in 
my signature file.  What rot47 does is to take the whole 96 character 
print set and remove the space character and delete character and that 
gets down to 94 characters.  After that, whenever a character is in the 
lower half of the set its mirror character gets used in the upper half of 
the set.  Writing those characters out in two columns where the first 
starts with (!) and ends with (O) and the second column starts with (P) 
and finishes the character set.  After that find the character to use and 
on the same row write the character in the other column.  Now for email 
addresses to poison spam data bases you don't encrypt the (@) sign and you 
don't encrypt the (o) characters.  That way you have one (@) character in 
the email address but the rest of the email address will go nowhere.

Hi all,

Just wondering how to create a cig in mail? Also, is there an App that'll 
create cigs randomly app-on sending an email, like some software does for 
windows?

Thanks.
