Excellent patch-1.5.4.cd.signatures_menu.2.1 from Cédric Duval. You
can browse all sigs, select one manually, search by keyword, or type 'r'
to take one at random.

Taratata. Abolutely *always* apropos. Just sometimes to another
message in another thread. ;-)

For a relatively small number of sigs (a dozen), there is also the
dumb method: Build a file containing all sigs, put it in $signature, and
while writting the mail trim out everything not applicable. I do just
that for Mutt builds without cd.signatures_menu.2.1

There should be no problem reusing such a tagline file. Just perhaps
preprocess it to change whatever separator between sigs in file (perhaps
single % as in fortune) to sigdashes.
Bye! Alain.
