    That says to me it's going to take anything it finds in your ~/.Sig
    directory, except the two system dotfiles ".." and ".", or anything
    with a dot at the beginning of the filename. "foo" and "bar" should
    be fine filenames for this, as would "foo.bar".

    Too bad you couldn't do something simpler (or maybe you can; I've
    never wanted to). This is all it takes for mutt:

      ----------------------------------------------
      Note: not tested!

      ~/sh/mail_sig:
     
          #!/bin/bash
          cat ~/.signature
          /usr/bin/fortune -s
     
      .muttrc:

          folder-hook . set signature="~/sh/mail_sig|"
      ----------------------------------------------
