% Dear Mutt Users:
% 
% Is there a way to specify a program for a signiture file?  I've tried

Yep.



% various ways without success and I've also browsed the site, the faq, and
% the news archives.

Well, from the manual that *I* have:

  6.3.140.  signature

  Type: string
  Default: ~/.signature

  Specifies the filename of your signature, which is appended to all
  outgoing messages.   If the filename ends with a pipe (``|''), it is
  assumed that filename is a shell command and input should be read from
  its stdout.


% 
% I have a perl program which spits out a random saying. How do I make this
% my signiture file?
% 
% I was thinking along the lines of something like:
% set signature="! perl rand_saying.pl"

Close; you want something more like

  set signature="rand_saying.pl|"

and I haven't tried specifying a program (perl) and an argumment (script)
but it oughta work.


:-D
