Do drop me a word if you find a bug or want to suggest any improvements. The script to create random email signatures for you. You can choose your signature style between a simple sig, a standing ascii cartoon and a sitting ascii cartoon. Use it with Colossal Quotes to get cool dynamic email signatures. To take the coding od newsgrabber scripts to the next level, I have started a new project on Sourceforge.
