23;;; Commentary:
24;; This utility allows you to automatically cut regions to a fortune
25;; file. In case that the region stems from an article buffer (mail or
26;; news), it will try to automatically determine the author of the
27;; fortune. It will also allow you to compile your fortune-database
28;; as well as providing a function to extract a fortune for use as your
29;; signature.
30;; Of course, it can simply display a fortune, too.
31;; Use prefix arguments to specify different fortune databases.
32
33;;; Installation:
34
f111f09d
GM
35;; Please check the customize settings -- you will at least have to
36;; modify the values of `fortune-dir' and `fortune-file'.
74d93533
RS
37
38;; I then use this in my .gnus:
39;;(message "Making new signature: %s" (fortune-to-signature "~/fortunes/"))
40;; This automagically creates a new signature when starting up Gnus.
41;; Note that the call to fortune-to-signature specifies a directory in which
42;; several fortune-files and their databases are stored.
43
44;; If you like to get a new signature for every message, you can also hook
45;; it into message-mode:
f111f09d 46;; (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'fortune-to-signature)
74d93533
RS
47;; This time no fortune-file is specified, so fortune-to-signature would use
48;; the default-file as specified by fortune-file.
49
50;; I have also this in my .gnus:
51;;(add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook
4f91a816 52;; (lambda ()
74d93533 53;; (define-key gnus-article-mode-map "i" 'fortune-from-region)))
329d7667 54;; which allows marking a region and then pressing "i" so that the marked
74d93533
RS
55;; region will be automatically added to my favourite fortune-file.
