i do a bunch of sig changing with send-hooks and folder-hooks as it
is. granted, it's not the most robust of solutions, but it works...
just for clarity, are you suggesting that your address book will have
a personalized sig entry for each entry in the db? i think that would be
pretty nice, as you wouldn't have to muck around with mutt's alias
file...(and tons of send-hooks) which can be hiddeously hard to manage.
but you're basically re-implementing a send-hook, no? If that's the case,
why stop with signatures? you can add a bunch of other things like
character encoding, my_hdr's, etc etc... but then i guess you have to
think, where do you draw the line between send-hook and address-book?
