About:
randomsig is a program that creates a .signature file in your home directory as a named pipe. This pipe will produce a random line each time it is read from. This is useful for generating random signatures in email messages and the like. The program can also be run in safe mode where it will simply update the a text .signature file every so often according to how you've configured the program.

[»] Using randomsig with pine
by Suso Banderas - Apr 19th 2000 10:43:48

I use pine myself so this program's top priority was to work with pine. There are some issues sometimes like if you try composing messages to rapidly(but why would you do that anyways) but other than that, it should work. Just in case you're curious, I use pine versions 4.04 and 4.10. I haven't tested the program with any pre 4 versions of pine so there may be a problem there.

The latest version of randomsig (1.10.0) now uses a new default mode that doesn't rely on named pipes. So Pine should now work fine with randomsig and any other program that can read normal files. The named pipe feature is still available using the -p option, but will eventually be a depreciated feature by version 2.0

Has anyone used this with pine? Pine usually has problems with .signature being a pipe and not a real file.. And the only random .sig generator that works with pine some of the time is gensig. But it aint developed anymore..
