I recently gave up on a text-based MUA, partly because I couldn’t be arsed moving it when my laptop’s harddisk died on me, partly because I figured it was time to embrace webbased email interfaces. We use Google’s mailhosting for the vennemindenet.dk domain, which gives us the nice Gmail-interface. Apart from the Google braindamage that only lets me use the basic html-interface in Konqueror, I also missed my random fortune cookie signatures.
As it turns out, there’s an easy solution for that. A small script that prints an RSS feed with a single fortune cookie and the Random Signature feature from the Labs settings in Gmail. The Labs feature gives you an additional setting under your default signature where you can specify an RSS feed to pull a random message from. Neat!
