okay, now i wanted to try this for myself, but can't get it working.
if i've read the muttrc man page correctly, all i need to do is make a
~/.signature file that has the line 

/home/nori/bin/formatted_sig.prl

and that is all?  `cat /home/nori/.signature` works fine from the
command line ... but i'm failing to understand where i should put a
pipe.  should ~/.signature instead be ~/.signature| ?  here's the
relevant bit from my muttrc:

## signature
##  Type: string
##  Default: ~/.signature
##  Specifies the filename of your signature, which is appended to all
##  outgoing messages.   If the filename ends with a pipe (``|''), it is
##  assumed that filename is a shell command and input should be read from
##  its stdout.
##
set signature = "~/.signature"

tia,

</nori>
