how do I set a Thunderbird signature to use a dynamic url's html?

Question

I want to use a dynamic email signature in Thunderbird, that is context aware (depends on date, events in db, etc.)

If I have a PHP that can generate the signature html (i.e. http://www.site.com/email_sign.php) how do I force Thunderbird to use it?

(the only options I see are using static html (whether inline, of from a local system file).

any ideas?

You can use the Signature Switch add-on and a batch file calling wget to achieve what you want. I wrote a simple executable to replace the bat file; you can read about it (and download it if you want to) from http://www.else.co.nz/portfolio/020-code/dynamic-email-signatures
