Subject: Multiple sigs?

A while ago I heard someone say something about with PINE, rather than
setting a signature file that you could use a directory, and in that
directory you could put many different signatures and PINE would randomly
chose one every time you wrote a message.  Can anyone tell me just how to
do that?

Thanks!

Your memory fails you.  That is not a setting available within pine.

If you are into perl and scripting you could have a perl script which
writes a random sig to a named pipe and have pine reading from the pipe.

Enjoy...

Sure. Check the pine archives and look for signature and random. The
mail was by David Miller IIRC.

Cheers,
Robin

P.S. Your signature is too long, and it doesn't have sigdashes.
