Well a lot of people have a list of quotations with one selected
randomly for each message. My sig below was generated like that. I use
folder hooks to add different sigs in different folders and generally
use the random one for mailing lists.
You do not even have to write a file with fortune - just pipe it in.
Well it is homework, so I'll leave you to sort it all out.
