Ok, here is version 2 which _does_ permit you to use any external editor you
like:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/games/fortune > $HOME/.sig
vim $@nospam. # it is possible to change this line...
If you can find another trigger when a new email message is created, then
maybe you can get the crappy internal editor to work too (I know you use the
far superior vim, but I needed to let the others know).

Is natty good or bad?
I forgot what pipes had to do with it. How are pipes a solution? I only
remember the bit about background processes (which seems wrong to me since the
sig is randomized even while it isn't being used).
