use your mail client for that (pine / mutt etc)

like fortune? easy - write a wrapper around your mail client which creates
this shell script (or use mutt, which allows you to set your signature as a
program <= a shell script that uses this prog to generate your .sig)
#!/bin/sh
WHOAMI=`whoami`
if [ -f /tmp/sig.$USER ]
then
rm -f /tmp/sig.$USER
fi
cat $HOME/.signature > /tmp/sig.$USER
/usr/games/fortune -s >> /tmp/sig.$USER
pine
of course - set your signature in pine to /tmp/sig.sridhar <or whatever your
login is>
> every out-going mail. how do i do this?
in your mail program
-s
