Running script upon composition

1996-08-26 11:16:57
Is there a way of making procmail run a script , whenever I begin 
composing an email ? I mean it can be passive and pipe to a script when 
certain mail comes in. But is there a unix mail program that will execute 
a script when ever I get ready to compose.

This is exactly what i had in mind :
 I wrote an auto signature generator that randomly selects quotes/ 
taglines from a DB, whatever, and appends to the .signature file. Now in 
pine ( as confessed earlier ) I can see the .signature file appended to 
the end of my message, which I can modify or change as I will upon 
completion of composition ( the idea is to get random tasteful quotes but 
still have the ability of knowing and if desired changing the .signature )
Can I get that script running everytime I compose a letter,so that I get 
different quotes everytime, I compose a letter ( instead of my present 
one execution per session ).

Can procmail do this ( I know I might be making an OS out of this nice 
program ) but such expectation is merely the result of my admiration for it.
