You can use AppleScript. I ran into the same problem a while ago, so I
exported all the PM signatures to a FileMaker Pro database to clean up
the sigs. Then I deleted all the sigs in PowerMail and used an
AppleScript to create new sigs from my FM database.
Try something like this script:
property changeCnt : 0
property targetTxt : "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
property replacementTxt : "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
to replaceTxt from the txt
if the txt contains the targetTxt then
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the targetTxt
set the tList to every text item of the txt
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacementTxt
set the fixedTxt to the tList as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return the fixedTxt
else
return ""
end if
end replaceTxt
tell application "PowerMail 5.1"
set the changeCnt to 0
set the sigList to the text signatures
set the sigCount to count the sigList
repeat with sig in the sigList
set the sigTxt to the sig's signature
if the sigTxt contains the targetTxt then
set the fixedTxt to replaceTxt of me from the sigTxt
if the fixedTxt is not "" then
set the sig's signature to the fixedTxt
set the changeCnt to (the changeCnt + 1)
end if
end if
end repeat
display dialog "Signatures changed: " & the changeCnt giving up after 10
end tell

Thus the living, lone and sobbing,
In the throes of anguish throbbing,
With the loathsome Furies robbing
Night and noon of peace and rest.
But beyond the groans and grating
Of abhorrent Life, is waiting
Sweet Oblivion, culminating
All the years of fruitless quest.
-- H.P. Lovecraft, Despair 1919
