You should have seen the monstrosity forced on my by my previous
workplace; something like 14 lines long, included a worthless legal
disclaimer (*I* could have driven a truck through the dratted thing) and
~700 bytes IIRC.  I used to have nice sigquotes, but some dratted
marketdroid hassled me about it, then hassled my boss ...  so I had to
kill them and use the Borg .sig instead.  *spit*

I use a nice wee script now, that gives a different response depending on
hows it's invoked.  It works quite nicely with Pine's roles :)  Defaults
to "work mode", because I wrote it at work for use on my work mailbox.
"Personal mode" looks more like a business card.  Now if only I could find
someone in this town who runs something other than the Beast from Redmond,
dammit.

Cheers

Richard
