is there a mail app that does this?

That makes sense.

I'm not sure which is best for you.  I would probably write a script
which gets called from Kmail and randomly grabs one of those signatures.

If you want a particular one, choose to Insert a File and pick the one
you want.

I'm not sure if there is anything which would easily display and allow
you to select from the list, though.  Let me know if you can.  That
sounds pretty cool.  I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult to write in
Perl or Bash.  How many sigs are you talking about?

I personally love the Chesterton sig you have been sporting. :)
