By the way, I under-typed above and it should have had more information. It should have read: After an overwritten file has been used once, another is automatically selected and copied to the "Signature" file. So after a reply, the sig file would be substituted automatically with no further attention from the user. I used to have a similar batch file that placed a random quote on my screen every morning.
