This is trivial to do in perl: open "FILE", "<file.txt"; while (<FILE>) { push @lines, $_; } print $lines[int(rand(@lines))]; (it's untested, but it probably works). Of course, you'll have to modify it to output the appropriate email header and whatnot. -- Rob 'Feztaa' Park http://members.shaw.ca/feztaa/ -- Kiss me twice. I'm schizophrenic.
