Now if I can just figure out how to change the quoting strings to something more personal - any insight? Cheers!Here's my Python script, which reads a file of quotes (one quote per line), and randomly selects one. Note that Evolution needs '<br>' tags for line breaks.
Ah. Hmmm. And the linewrapping id not as I wish it was, too. Well, back
to generating .signature file from cronjob.
Personally, I use the 'signify' program (packaged in Debian) to generate
my signature from a number of sources: featured link/product (like
below), standard fortune cookies and fortune with a personal database.
signify also has nice formatting capabilities for multi-column
signatures, and you can influence the probability distribution of the
random generator. Very neat program. No, I've not written it.
