TINY signature randomizer

[Giacomo Boffi]

;; At present, it works with a "~/.signature" file, where (possibly
;; multiline) stuff is separated by a line containing ONLY a "%"
;;
;; Change the filename in expand-file-name and the separator in
;; split-string below as you feel appropriate, and drop in your
;; "~/.gnus"
;;
(defun sig_rand ()
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert-file-contents-literally (expand-file-name "~/.signature"))
    (let ((lista (split-string (buffer-string (current-buffer)) "\n%\n")))
      (elt lista (random (length lista))))))
(setq message-signature 'sig_rand)

sorry, the original version is good for XEmacs, but does not run in
Emacs, where

,----
| buffer-string is a built-in function in `C source code'.
| (buffer-string)
| 
| Return the contents of the current buffer as a string.
| If narrowing is in effect, this function returns only the visible part
| of the buffer.
`----

the corrected version works in XEmacs too, as the BUFFER argument is
optional
