Thunderbird needs to have basic support for random signatures. I think it would
be reasonable to be able to poit to a folder/directory containing small
textfiles and that TB when you create a new message picks one of these files and
insert it at the bottom of the message. Possibly, this should be implemented
through an extension.

I have looked into the Signature and Signature Switcher extensions but they only
partially offer this functionality.

Furthermore, independently of how this is implemented, I think it should limit
the signature to the standard 4 lines of text. People who wants to override such
a limit can compile their TB themselves...

Reproducible: Always

See Signature Switch at

I do not believe bug reports should be resolved through the use of extensions,
but this might provide a work-around while the RFE is under consideration. 
Perhaps, it might even serve as the basis for implementing this RFE.
