FYI: Mandrake has Evolution 1.2.4 available on the update servers, as
this version fixes a security bug. You probably wanna wait until 1.4
(Gnome2 port) comes out, as RC1 already had been released.

Tools / Settings / Composer Preferences / Signatures

Hit 'Add Script' button, enter a name for that new signature and set
Script to '/usr/games/fortune'.

You can assign that signature to an account with
 Tools / Settings / Mail Accounts / <account> Edit / Identity
 Default Signature

or chose the 'fortune' signature in the composer when writing a mail.

Any time '/usr/games/fortune' gets called, it generates a random
fortune.

See 'man fortune' for more infos and options.


Running Mandrake 9.1 myself, don't know about wanda though. If fortune
isn't installed, run the following command as root:
# urpmi fortune
