Different signature/tag line each day/email.

[Nigel Tamplin]

Hello,

I have noticed that many people have a humorous tag line at the end of
their emails.

I have also read in the mutt docs that you can pipe the output of a
command into your signature.

I want to combine these, so that when I compose an email it picks a
tag line from a collection of tag lines and sets that as the
signature.

Are there any tools/ scripts written that do this?

Thanks,

I solved my own problem, it was to do with the X resources.

I'm using rxvt on Sparc Solaris 7.

Find out where your XResrouces are kept, ~/.XDefaults,
/etc/dt/app-defaults/C/???, /etc/dt/config/C/sys.resources etc..

Then for rxvt you will need to add:

  rxvt*color0:#00
  rxvt*color1:#a8
  rxvt*color2:#00a800
  rxvt*color3:#a8a800
  rxvt*color4:#a8
  rxvt*color5:#a800a8
  rxvt*color6:#00a8a8
  rxvt*color7:#a8a8a8

  rxvt*color8:#54
  rxvt*color9:#ff0054
  rxvt*color10:   #00ff54
  rxvt*color11:   #54
  rxvt*color12:   #ff
  rxvt*color13:   #ff00ff
  rxvt*color14:   #00
  rxvt*color15:   #ff

And then there was color! Even magenta!

In my particular instance I edited the rxvt src/Makefile (after
running ./configure) and added a
-DXAPPLOADDIR=\"/etc/dt/app-defaults/C\" to the DEFS, I then put the
above color definitions in a file named /etc/dt/app-defaults/Rxvt,
leaving off the leading "rxvt" from each line: thus

*color0:#00
*color1:#a8
*color2:#00a800
etc...

mutt, xterm and missing colors.

[Nigel Tamplin]

How do the color names in the muttrc file related to real colors on
the screen.

I am running mutt on Solaris within an xterm.

If I set TERM=vt100, everything works, but only in black and white.

If I leave TERM=xterm, then I get colors, however the only colours that seem
to work are white, brightyellow and black.

Meaning that if the muttrc contains the line:

color tree magenta default

Then the magenta won't show up at all, making my thread trees black on black.

What do I need to do?

Thanks,
