Does anyone know of a source(s) of text taglines for use with mail software? Mystic just added support for taglines, and I'm looking for a large collection of good ones.

This should get you started:

There is an echo called "TAGLINES" where some taglines are posted regularly. Just rescan that echo and you should get some :)

Too bad there wasn't a zip file one could just download. While
there are a ton of taglines there, you'd have to go through and
weed out the duplicates. But, then the question is if there's a
maximum number of taglines that your QWK Mail Reader (OLX, SLMR, MultiMail, BlueWave, etc.) can support.

Thanks, gangstar!
No joke - its 2o21 and all... :P
I'm just working with the new Mystic taglines engine... code... whatever. I'll add a few in there, should be just fine.
I'm just a little irritated about the position of your taglines, as I
would've expected the tagline just above the tearline instead of
above your signature...

Considering there are no "standards" about taglines, or even that they should be used, that shouldn't be an issue.
Even if there were standards, taglines are not specific to FidoNet so saying they must be coupled with a tearline wouldn't work.
I may change it to place itself directly above the tear line, but personally I kind of like the blank space above it. Open to hearing
more opinions though if people have them.
No problem :)

There is a whole 1 meg tagline file in the \RENEGADE\TEXT directory.
I've included it sicne we added taglines back in 2003. You are more
than welcome to grab it from a full install.

From what I've seen in my time hanging out around these parts, in echomail, it's "tagline-tearline-origin line" without any spaces
between. I've also seen plenty of messages where people put a space in between the tagline and the tearline/origin combo.
Thank you for continuing to develop Mystic. I appreciate your effort
and time invested in your software!

I like them BELOW the autosignature, at the end - where they should
go... but what do I know. EVERYTHING!

Would vote on it being optional, like the Cowbell feature.

Don't blame me, mama - its the new Mystic addition...

It's not really an issue, but it might make one think
that the contents of
the tagline is something that the author of the message says.

You only THINK the Cowbell feature is optional, but there will always
been more Cowbell.

Christopher Walken told me so.

You're right its absolutely more common to have no space between the
tag and tear. I just think a lot of clutter in that area can end
up looking pretty sloppy at times too. I've removed the
space for now and I'll see maybe it will grow on me!
Thanks!

If one has been involved in BBSing for any length of time, one knows that
a tagline may not be something the author of the message wrote themselves (though often it is) but it's an idea that they agree with else they wouldn't have posted it. To me, a tagline is more of an aside to the message.

Shame on you! *thwaps with a rolled-up newspaper*
I've seen that also. I actually knew someone back in the early
80s, when the IBM PC first came out, who did just that.
I think I have about five or six console editors installed on my
Windows box but about 20 installed on my Linux box and probably
that many installed on my ArcaOS box. Though my favorite editor in
OS/2 is TEDIT.EXE and my favorite Linux editor is joe. I do have
nano and FTE installed on all three boxes though.
Why?
Because I can.
Have you ever used Boxer? (Available on various platforms including
OS/2. Quite powerful. TEdit is quite good too!
Best reason. <grin>

Did everyone else 'hear' Walken in your head when you read this? :-)

Taglines have always been an option, not a requirement. I like taglines but
know many that do not.
