Pine will can run any program that will spit out a sig on stdout. You
need to specify the program to run plus a pipe character as your Signature
File. My .pinerc contains:
signature-file=sig-standard|
And "sig-standard" is:
#!/bin/bash
echo " -Matt"
echo
/usr/games/fortune -s -n 330 50% ~/mysigs 50% /usr/share/games/fortunes $*
I'm lazy, so I use fortune to generate random sigs. That command asks
fortune to give me a quote under 330 characters, selected 50/50 from
either the system fortunes directory or my tagline file in my home
directory. That file is called mysigs and uses the same format as the
system fortunes. See "man strfile".

Daddy, why doesn't this magnet pick up this floppy disk?
