I went and found some tagline files (they used to be popular with BBS
offline mailers).

I have a little template file that looks like this:

 _  _  _  _ _  ___    _ _  _  ___ _ _  __   %T3------------------------
/ \/ \(_)| ' // ._\  / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__   %T1------------------------
\_||_/|_||_|_\\___/  \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __)  %T2------------------------

Back when I was taking a C++ course, I wrote a (crummy) little program
that would grab a line from my taglines file and try to fit it into the
space on the right side of my .sig.  I kind of tried to make the program
generic, but I took a second look at the source the other day, and I see
that the code is hard-wired for a 4-line .signature..
