It runs during the actual sending process, so you don't ever actually see the result of it. Check your sent-mail folder to see what it looks like. > 2) I named the temp file sigfortune, and in Pine's config I specified the > sending-filter to be "sigfortune _TMPFILE_" (without the quotes).

Do I need to modify permissions on sigfortune? You should use _TMPFILE_. See the Pine docs (available from the main menu) for info on what special names can be used. Be sure your script has the execute bit turned on (chmod u+x <filename>). I specify the absolute path to my script in my Pine config.
