Easy. Write a litte script that prints a random signature, using "fortune".
Let's assume that script is called "s". Next, in the recource-file of your
mailer (my mailer is mutt, so the file I need here is ".muttrc"), is al line
something like:
set signature="~/.signature"    # file which contains my signature
You just have to change this to:
set signature="| ~/bin/s"
and you're up and running.

Greetz,
Marc
