I'm guessing you're not really looking for a helpful answer, but...

Use whatever macros you want to make up a bunch of reasonable length
signatures, each saved as a separate QT.  Create a text file with the
names of each signature QT, one per line.  Create a QT called
"choose_sig" consisting of:

%QInclude(%Cookie("%MailDir\MySigs.txt"))%-

using the correct path to your file of signature names.  Now, just
include:

%QInclude(choose_sig)%-

in your message templates.  You get a random signature with each
message.  You don't really have to create the "choose_sig" QT, you
could just put its code in each template, but using it puts the logic
and path info in one place instead of scattered throughout your
various message templates.

You could also skip the text file and use the account cookies property
to hold the signature QT names.  Then just use:

%QInclude(%Cookie)%-

in your message templates.

There are a bunch of ways to do this stuff.  The point being, with a
little imagination you can have some fun, use all your macros and not
annoy people.  I doubt many folks will object to getting your spam
statistics in occasional small doses.  I think it's the quantity that
puts folks off.
