Sure, but I haven't written one.  Assuming you're running VA, just substitute
!<scriptname> for one of the strings in VSTRING that the user gets during the
reading/posting process.  For example, if you do it with the string that puts
the top lines of the message editor on-screen, you could have it use the RND
function to rename taglines so a different tagline would have the number of
the one assigned to that message base.  Then it would put the top lines of
the editor onscreen and return to the editor subroutine.  Each time they
enter the editor it would re-name taglines.  (Wouldn't have to rename all of
them everytime, that'd be kinda slow I would think.)
