then you should either :
1. write your own fortune alternative in a coding/scripting language
of your choice and call it from mutt with:
set signature="myrandomsiggenerator|"
2. write your own fortune module and call it from mutt with:
set signature="fortune mymod|"
note- the key part of these two alternatives are the first three words:
"write your own"

depends on what signify is. if it's a script that does what you want,
go with it. otherwise, WYO! that's the great thing about
unix/linux/open source software. they easily allow you to write your own
additions to (opti|custo)mize your computer-using experience...

haha, whatever floats your boat, man...
this isn't a mutt question, but you can try "fortune ascii-art" or see
man fortune for more information. google ascii art for more.

some emailers (including mutt) can read ANSI colors in mail messages
should you desire, but its use is not really wide-spread as (most mail
clients don't). mutt, of course, will also not waste its time with html
mail. if you'd like to send html emails|sigs with mutt, you should
check out the mime type 'multipart/alternative'. i believe there's a
patch somewhere for mutt that allows for this...
