I just happened to count my local mailboxes recently for administrative
purposes (phone dial-in accounting etc). I came out with 85 different 
addresses you can send mail to and soon or later I'll read it anyway. In order
to keep administration simple I happen to use accounts where the same .sig 
or 'From' is put in. 

Question -  depending on the operating system, I use pine, ean, eudora, and 
pmdf mailers. Not to mention various newsreaders to reply from. I could need
a 'signature switcher' on UNIX - has anyone written something like this 
to get into pine? Not only the .sig file,but the 'From' should be changed 
as well. 

Regards
Reinhard
