[Cialug] Text file munging

I have a bunch of individual email messages from mail.app that have been 
disassociated from their mailbox. I have tried copying them into the 
messages folder but they don't go because of two lines in the plist at the 
end. I need to remove
         <key>remote-id</key>
         <string>4294</string>
from 20,000 files. The number varies and the location at the end of the 
file can move a few lines at a time. I've tried my regex magic on it but 
don't have enough to get it working. Any help?
