Try something like this:
set signature="sigmaker.pl `echo ~/.quotes/*` |"
However, this will only expand the list of quotes when your .muttrc is
read, it won't dynamically update it if you add or remove files to/from
the directory.
If you want that, then you need to create a shell-script which does the
expansion for you, and call that from $signature instead.
Hope this helps,
Mikko

The required OS was Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux.
