[nifty little Perl script deleted]

i use signify (part of Debian GNU/Linux, couldn't find a home page for
it other than the Debian page):

  http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/mail/signify.html

source is available from there.

it's pretty powerful, supporting nifty things like aligning
left/center/right, weighting some random parts so they appear more/less
often, arbitrary inline Perl, and some other cool things. once it's set
up, (i can give you my .signify file if you want a sample) just add this
line to your .muttrc:

  set signature=signify|

signify can also run as a FIFO if you use other mail agents occasionally (shame on you 
:)
