I've always perfered dynamic signatures, and I used to run a cron script to create a new one once per minute. but that was a waste of my cpu, so I've been looking for a better solution. Of course, if you want it, best way is to build it yourself.

So first I created a script named sigmaker

Code:

# /bin/sh
alias kernelver="uname -r"
echo "Posted from $(hostname) at $(dnsdomainname) on $(date) running Gentoo Linux, Kernel $(kernelver)" > .signature
uptime >> .signature
fortune >> .signature
echo "nqs at nqs dot is-a-geek dot net" >> .signature
vim $1

I then added this to my .muttrc:

Code:

set editor=~/sigmaker

don't forget to run chmod 0700 on the script.

every time you start or reply to a new masil in mutt, a different .sig will be generated.
