On a more helpful note, if you have a collection of helpful hints then
a simple connection of Signify, Cron and Mailman will give you what
you want.  Set up the signify configuration file, use cron to mail a
quote from it each week or whatever, and make the destination a
mailman mailing list.  Each of these has fairly good doco available.
