I actually do seed a local fortune file here.  And it's something I
might tackle.  That said, I've just started using signify, and find
managing this file is pretty straightforward.  The delta between this
and fortune isn't much -- you're still dealing with quotes delimited in
a file.

Half of one, six dozen of the other, I say.

Peace.

Thanks very much for all the responses to my query. I looked at a couple of
scripts and then played around with signify a bit. I've used signify as it seems
to be the simpler option.

Why not use a fortune-file to store your quotes?
1) create /usr/local/share/games/fortunes/myquotes.dat ...
2) fortune myquotes

(assuming that each fortune having an equal weight is OK)

Signify here.

After having some stunningly good luck with advertising a number of
causes (including my resume) over the past couple of years, I'm plugging
a number of causes (or broadcasting pans) with Signify.  Highly
recommended Googlebombing technique.

In .muttrc:

set signature= signify|

And a sample .signify, readily extended with the variables in the first
three assignments.  Modify to suit:
