Here's a shellscript someone posted some time back, I just began using
it the other day (when, after an OS upgrade the hack I"d been using for
years decided to no longer work). I would expect it's a lot more
lightweight than a perl script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# from mutt mailing list...
{
typeset afile
set -A allsigs `cd ~/.sigs;ls -a sig[0-9]*`
(( afile = $RANDOM % ${#allsigs[*]} ))
cat ~/.sigs/${allsigs[$afile]}
}
Drop this in a file somewhere, make it executable, name it 'randisg' (or
whatever you like, really), set up the signature in mutt to be
"/path/to/randsig |" and voila!
Of course, you also need a set of files in a directory (in this case it's
"/.sigs") each of which contains one signature.
