Do it by AppleScript:


tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set allSigs to every signature whose include in random is true
    repeat with theSig in allSigs
        set theContent to content of theSig
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {" x1234"}
        set parsedContent to text items of theContent
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {" x9876"}
        set theContent to parsedContent as string
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"}
        set parsedContent to text items of theContent
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"}
        set theContent to parsedContent as string
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
        set content of theSig to theContent
    end repeat
end tell
