I know this is silly and OT, but after some googling seems to me that 
nothing exists that does what I'm looking for.

When you reply to an email, the MUA more or less automatically starts 
your message with a short intro along the lines of "on %date, %author 
wrote:" or something like that.

Some degree of customization is possible, so many people modify the above 
message in more or less humorous variants (eg, "on %date the world 
stopped and listened as %author contributed the following to 
humanity:").

There are a lot of email signature generators (fortune, sigrot, etc.), 
but I wasn't able to find an equivalent tool to generate these intros.

Does somebody know if one exists? Or, alternatively, if some collection 
of introductory phrases exists somewhere in Internet (I found none)?

Yes, I know it's silly. Only, with the plenty of tools the opensource 
world gives you, it just seems strange to me that nothing exists to do 
such a simple job.

Thanks
