How can I add random mail signatures from a text file?

Question

I'm trying to add a different quote to every email that I write... is there a program or way for Mail to pluck and append a quote at random from a external file of quotes?  (I'm not talking about the standard "Random" feature built into Mail.)
There must be one out there, but I can't find it.  I'm using Snow Leopard and Mail 4.5

Hello,
Here is a running start on getting specific lines in the case lines starting with ComboBox. I took your data and placed it into a text file named TextFile1.txt in the bin\debug folder. Code below was done in
a console app.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
internal class Program
private static void Main(string[] args)
var result =
from T in File.ReadAllLines(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "TextFile1.txt"))
.Select((line, index) => new { Line = line, Index = index })
.Where((s) => s.Line.StartsWith("ComboBox"))
select T
).ToList();
if (result.Count > 0)
foreach (var item in result)
Console.WriteLine("Line: {0} Data: {1}", item.Index, item.Line);
Console.ReadLine();
