;;; Commentary:
;; This utility allows you to automatically cut regions to a fortune
;; file.  In case that the region stems from an article buffer (mail or
;; news), it will try to automatically determine the author of the
;; fortune.  It will also allow you to compile your fortune-database
;; as well as providing a function to extract a fortune for use as your
;; signature.
;; Of course, it can simply display a fortune, too.
;; Use prefix arguments to specify different fortune databases.

;;; Installation:

;; Please check the customize settings - you will at least have to modify the
;; values of `fortune-dir' and `fortune-file'.

;; I then use this in my .gnus:
;;(message "Making new signature: %s" (fortune-to-signature "~/fortunes/"))
;; This automagically creates a new signature when starting up Gnus.
;; Note that the call to fortune-to-signature specifies a directory in which
;; several fortune-files and their databases are stored.

;; If you like to get a new signature for every message, you can also hook
;; it into message-mode:
;; (add-hook 'message-setup-hook
;;           '(lambda ()
;;              (fortune-to-signature)))
;; This time no fortune-file is specified, so fortune-to-signature would use
;; the default-file as specified by fortune-file.

;; I have also this in my .gnus:
;;(add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook
;;	  '(lambda ()
;;	     (define-key gnus-article-mode-map "i" 'fortune-from-region)))
;; which allows marking a region and then pressing "i" so that the marked
;; region will be automatically added to my favourite fortune-file.
