Subject: Sig w/ fortune?

I'm running Pine 3.95 under Linux and I was wondering if anyone had ideas
for including a random fortune into messages that I compose.  I'd like
something similar to adding 'taglines' (a FidoNet thing...).

Maybe a script to add a fortune to the .signature file or something with
Pine's filtering?

I'm using an external Editor:  vim -c "$ | r! fortune -s" doesn't work,
because I can't use Quotes.  So I use "vim -s fort" and wrote the
vim-script fort:
:$^Mo--^[:r! fortune -s^M

I think, the sending filter is too late, because I want to see what I'm
sending.
