I assume your motd (message of the day) attached is from a list you
have
collected. I never got it working. I tried "fortune" in the past but
lacked the skill to get it attached to anything but the terminal.
Oh, that depends upon the e-mailer you used. Some will draw from
fortune (with or without various conguration combinations), other's
won't. When I was running pine (Alpine), it will automatically work
once you edit the pine or Alpine rc file (or within the settingts
option). Evolution -- if it even allows for signatures (anything you
want in every message) -- might only use "static" signatures you would
have to set in the Signatures settings in Evolution. Have a look in
there.
It might draw from a file. I think in pine/Alpine I'd had to
create a cron job to write to a file I'd kept in my /home/meph
directory which would create a new fortune every minute & pine/Alpine
would take whatever was in that. I may be confusing this proceedure
with another mail app, but it was rare I would use any other mail app
in Linux -- & then, only till it pissed me off;-).
If you can describe all the Evolution Signature settings (in
order), I may see something helpful.
