doesnt that mean you need another process sitting on the other end of
the fifo to generate the content?  i used to employ such a system, but
found it too much of an inconvenience.

having switched over to using mutt, i just have:
 set    signature=~/.mutt/randsig.pl|
somewhere, which is IMHO the nicest solution i've come across.

dont you use mutt sometimes bruce instead of staroffice?
