Question: Is there any way to make the sig file random?

I was just wondering if there was any way to make pine use random sig. files?
Thanks!!!!!

I don't think pine can do that.  Awhile ago back, I tried to do the same thing
as you are right now.  I finally realized that it would be easier to change my
sig before I use pine/mail/elm/whatever.  So I wrote a little program that would
change my sig for me.  Anyways, If you are interested in this little program,
drop me an e-mail and I'll send it to you (address is in my sig).

If you're running on a UNIX box, you can try the following:

1. Create assorted .sig files called .signature, .sig1, .sig2, .sig3, etc.

2. Write shell scipt to copy .signature to .sig10, then copy .sig1 to    
   .signature, .sig2 to .sig1, .sig3 to .sig2, and so on until all .sig files  
   have been moved up one level.

3. Use cron to execute your shell script once per hour, and you'll have a    
   differnet .signature file each hour. You can make the cron execute the    
   script as often as you like (every 5 minutes???) 

Maybe this is what you had in mind. If not, this'll work, but it sure would be 
nice if Pine or Elm had some sort of random siguature generator.

This message is intended for 

	Rajesh Bawankule   bra...@wipinfo.soft.net

You've e-mail me a request for a random sig generator program but I've been
unable to send it to you.  All my mails bounced back.  Please verify your 
address or let me know if you have any other place where I can send it to.

P.S If anybody know Rajesh or know of a way to contact him please let me know
    or forward him this message

Thanx!!!
