Tired of the same dull sign-off on every email?
If your messages all end with the same line, QuipSig changes that. It is a signature file and tagline manager from Enterprise Network Consulting. It puts a different funny quip at the bottom of your messages and keeps your collection of quips, retorts and one-liners in one place.
Quick facts
- Type: shareware signature/tagline manager
- Platforms: Windows 95/98/ME and Windows XP
- Included quips: a data file of 50 quips
- Registered version: a 2,000 quip file
Key features
A fresh quip picked at random
QuipSig selects from its data file of quips at random, so your signature doesn't repeat itself.
Quips that change on a timer or after you send
You can change the quip at timed intervals or after you send a message.
Works with plain text signature files
It works with any mail or news reader that uses a plain text signature file, such as Netscape. Later versions add rtf autosignature support for Microsoft Outlook.
Add, delete and search your quips
You can add or delete quips and search for the right one before your next message. It also works as a place to organize one-liners you don't use in mail at all.
Who it's for
It suits people who still send email or newsgroup posts from a client with a text signature file and want some personality in their sign-off. It also suits anyone who collects one-liners.
