Signify here.

After having some stunningly good luck with advertising a number of
causes (including my resume) over the past couple of years, I'm plugging
a number of causes (or broadcasting pans) with Signify.  Highly
recommended Googlebombing technique.

In .muttrc:

    set signature= signify|

And a sample .signify, readily extended with the variables in the first
three assignments.  Modify to suit:
