Subject: docs for random sig code for Mutt
Date: May 15, 1996

	In order to use the random signature feature, you must first enable
it during compilation.  Edit config.h and make sure that it contains the
line
	#define ENABLE_RANDOM_SIG

	To use it, first create a file called .sigfixed in your home directory
and put in there one line that will contain the unchanging part of your
signature. For example, your name and email address.

	Now, create a directory that will contain the signatures you wish to
use. I call it .Sig and have it in my home directory, but it can have any
name as you will specify it in your .muttrc.

	Put the signatures you wish to use in this directory, one per file. 
You can name the files anything you wish as the random signature process
just grabs one from the directory and doesn't use the name to determine
which one to grab. For example, my directory contains the following files:


3d		7thDay		EBS			IHS			Yoda		amnesia
asi		assembly		atomicBomb	amor			barker	blues
borg		brains		bugs			burningTree	catseye	crazy
delenn	dijkstra		dino			dinosaurs		disney	enhancement
evolve	fan			germanLoveLife god			heard	hippogriff
hoare	hostCoast		infoHighway	instantCoffee	internet	kalidascope
kite		kenThompson	knuth		laws			lawyer	libClue
magic	meek			memories		memory		novocaine nuclear
pace		pentBorg		pizza		poisonIvy		postman	robin
safety	serene		snow			starTrekC		styrofoam superCollider
terror	thompson		torture		userFriendly	wrong

	The only restrictions on names are:
		1) Names can't start with a .
		2) Names can't start with a #
		3) Names can't contain a ~
	
	Files with names that violate the above restrictions will *not* be used
when determining which signature to append.

	Now, edit your .muttrc and add (or change) the following two lines:

set localsignature=CompletePathToTheDirectoryOfSignatureFiles
set remotesignature=CompletePathToTheDirectoryOfSignatureFiles

	Because there are two different variables, you can have a different
set of signatures for local and remote mail. Currently there is only one
file for the fixed portion of the signature, but that can change if it 
turns out to be needed.
