Seems like it would be pretty simple to write an action script program to ask for your email address, then have it just do a batch search and replace inside each file, replacing it with dummy text. However, that doesn't mean that the meta-data is completely gone, as that isn't my forte, I can't speak to it, but if just changing the type in text-edit does it, I'm sure someone will come up with a solution quickly. However, it is a bummer. we just need to keep on taking baby steps. I wonder if it’s possible to strip this data out.
