>I've amassed a veritable plethora of signatures in PowerMail. I just >changed addresses and need to change that info in my signatures. Is there >a file which containing them all so that I can do a find and replace >rather than having to change each one manually? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Tom Dillon 900 S.

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 cheshirekat -- 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
