  Something I've always wanted, but never known how to write,
  is a sig generator in email that looks at what you wrote
  and chooses something apposite.
  
  When I used to use taglines more often, I'd frequently be
  spending a minute or so cycling through random ones until
  I found one that was reasonably appropriate.

    I was, at one time, convinced that Tom Christiansen had something like this for Usenet postings. He'd always have a different signature quote and some of them were very appropriate to the subject at hand, too much so to be random. Other times, they were really unrelated, but somehow appropriate. Now, in retrospect, I'm wondering if he didn't select the quotes from a file, because sometimes they were too good for automation

      I've wondered the same thing about Mark Brader.
