Subject: Tagline manager

I've noticed a couple of posts to USENET from offline express.
That started out as a shareware FidoNet mailer. I once used it.

The thing I miss about it is the tagline manager. If you're not familiar
with taglines, they're the same as "signatures", except they're always one
line and they usually change from post to post of the same author.

That's because the author has a collection they choose from, or let the
mailer choose randomly. Currently, I crudely imitate a tagline manager
with a small collection of files that I insert after a message. 

Typically, taglines are the last line, or lines of a post, and they start
with an asterisk. That lets you hit one key to steal someone's tagline,
which is often a one-liner from Star Trek, the Simpsons, or something
about being hooked on roasted, green, bitter beans.

...I write my own...Or fix someone else's...

Nah...that's just the random function of a tagline manager. I didn't
use that function of my tagline manager very often.

It just wouldn't be the same as splicing into Pine's addressbook code,
especially if that code is reasonably reusable.
