Subject: signature suggestion

I suggest the next version of pine can support random signature,
just like tin, if the default is a directory, than load any file from
the dir as signature...

Thats a wonderful idea..  If only I may add to this though:

Have two fields in config:  "Fixed Signature"  And "Random Signature"
If only one of those files are filled, it would either always show a 
fixed signature, or always show completely random signature.  If both are 
filled, it will make show the Fixed signature, and directly under that 
place a random one.  So people could have thier .sigs that tell about 
them, and under the sig they could have one-liners or whatever. :>

Or we split the "Random Signature" field in two and Make a "Random top 
Signature" and "Random Bottom Signature" Which would put itself before or 
after the fixed signature or both if both are filled in.. :>

The more options, the better!

thanks,

-Matt

As I think, there is no serious use for that, I would suggest, that pine 
developers put their efforts in more sensible things.
