Mutt can do this with a little help =)
Here is a perl script that will do what you want:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# randsig.pl, by Don Blaheta. Released into public domain, blah, blah, blah.
# Generates a signature randomly from a single file of witty quotes which
# the user maintains; the quotes can be multi-line, and are separated by
# blank lines.
# Modifications by Glenn Maynard:
# Put your own signature in a file (typically ~/.sig), and your quotes in
# another file (ie ~/.randsig). Put %QUOTE% in your signature file where
# you want a quote replaced. To simply output your sig with no quote
# (%QUOTE removed), don't specify a quotefile.
# Cleaned up by me =)
# Place something like the following in your .muttrc to use this script.
# set signature=~/bin/randsig3.pl .sig ~/.mutt/quotes|
$home = $ENV{HOME};
if ($#ARGV lt 0 or $#ARGV gt 1) {
print Usage: $^X sigfile [quotefile]\n;
exit 1;
}
# determine the quote
if ($#ARGV eq 1) {
open (FI, $ARGV[1]) or die Can't open $ARGV[1];
# count the quotes
$sig[0] = 0;
while (FI) { $sig[$#sig + 1] = tell if /^$/; }
# read one
srand;
seek(FI, $sig[int rand ($#sig + .)], SEEK_SET) or die Can't seek;
while (FI) {
last if /^$/;
chomp ($_);
$msg .= \n;
$msg .= $_;
}
}
open (SIG, $ARGV[0]) or die Can't open $ARGV[0];
while (SIG) {
$_ =~ s/%QUOTE%/$msg/;
print $_;
}

Hi all. I'm a new mutt user, so if the stuff I ask has already been discussed to death, please don't /dev/null me. When I reply to an e-mail, mutt quotes it and pases it to the editor, including the .signature - I think it'd be nice if there was an option called trim_signature - if on, it cuts everything from the LAST line that responds to the pattern ^-- $ (BOL-dash-dash-space-EOL) upto the end off the mail. This would save time and bandwidth, me thinks. Also: one of the nice things about tin (the news reader) is that it lets you have a random signature (there's a fixed part and a random one, selected from the files in a directory previously declared). It'd be nice it mutt could do that as well. -- MIGUEL FARAH // [EMAIL PROTECTED] #include disclaimer.h // http://www.nn.cl/~miguel * Trust me - I know what I'm doing. - Sledge Hammer
