Think someone has already answered your question now - I've never looked at
Evolution, so I can't offer any specific advice for that package.

Combination of a pipe, backticks and an email reader which lets you
run a
program or script to determine the contents of the sig.

Which email reader do you use?

Here is a piece of a message I ripped from Tom to do mine with David...

.

Tom Said:
You can create a text file and 'chmod -x' it to run any suitable
executable, eg, /usr/bin/uptime.  I do this with kmail by making my
sig
executable and placing   /usr/games/fortune  in it as the last line.
So
while it probly varies with email clients, it should be easy to do.

  my sig:
echo  Tom Brinkman _ South Texas, USA_
echo
/usr/games/fortune


here is my complete executable file in /home/olly/sigprog 
...
   #this is a ollymade sig file for e-mail
echo Olly P. Biloxi  Mississippi     Linux MDK 8.0 and
 echo  2.4.3-20 mdk Kmail 2.1.1
echo ATX Plll 600mhz Asus CUBX ...384m PC133ram
echo
 /usr/games/fortune

 echo
 /usr/bin/uptime
...
just put the path to this script in your kmail...
here is the result ...neat huh?
pay attention to (echo)

Ps...I did not have anything to do with Johnsons law...it came from 
fortune just as it is grin

Set up a script to be run as your sigfile, then include something like 
the following (taken from my sigfile):

echo $( uptime )
