I've read several messages in the archives at the University of Washington
site which discuss setting up Pine for random signatures based on drawing
a quote randomly from a file of multiple quotes. There was reference to a
program called sigrnd.tgz which I was unable to find through archie. I
guess this is an old thread but I'd like to reopen it. Looking forward to
your suggestions!

I use a shell script to randomize my signature with fortune every few 
minutes.  You could also get a copy of a program like Marvin if you want 
to use your own lines to randomize your sigs.

-----script I use-------

#!/bin/sh

while tty -s
do
	sleep 300
	fortune -os > .Sig
done
