Am looking for a program that adds a random sig to the email everytime, (chosen from a list ina file) Anyone seen anything like this? and i mean automatically changing for EVERY email. thanks, Amit
They arent too hard to find if you search for signature at Download.com or some other shareware download site. There are a few around that do random sigs in email. The trick is to find one that works with your email client, especially if you don't use one of the popular ones. Laura On Thu, 5 Apr 2001 17:00:40 -0400, "Amit k.

ok i took this on your advice... 4 things.. First it gives an illegal exception or something on starting on my win2k pc. second it gives "This signature was made by SigChanger" randomly, which is unacceptable. third it leaves 2-3 lines before th e varialble signature which i hate. i dunno if it does that to u too. makes the sigs unnecessarily long. fourth it doesn't seem to change on a per mail basis, but on a time basis. anyone know of a program that does that? I would prefer something that doesn't need to sit in the tray all day. if such exists..damit i want to avoid writing one for myself. aargh! i have yet to try the other's suggestions :-) Thanks guys.

James Bond " it is in fact Sean Connery that speaks the words "Do you expect me to talk?" .. which places the movie much sooner (i thought it was sooner too .. something didn't add up - Now I know what) So it's from a James Bond movie starring Sean Connery.

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.

And this in turn gave me an idea .. using the signature function as a way to store clipart , ascii pieces or common phrases as signatures. This way you had easy access to them. I even like the way the dropdown menu works if you have more then one signature .. an idea for Jave's clipart function. -CJ -- When I was young we didn't ,---. _,-=-._ ,-- have websites like this. | | ,' _____ `. .---------------------------. | | '=(-o=o-)=' ( ~ CeeJay Central ~ ) \,(O)./ \(_)/ ( http://CeeJay.marmoset.net/ ) (-o-o-) )"( '---------------------------' \(_)/ """ When I was young we didn't --' )"( even have electricity!
