Please share if you got it to work.

I have the below function to do additional article washing but
the `article-strip-banner' method seems better in this case
since it only applies for an individual user.

Of the below stuff I don't know if any of it can be removed
using options instead, probably that would be preferable
if so.

(defun gnus-article-wash-more ()
  (article-translate-strings
   '(
     ("#+begin_quote\n"          "")
     ("#+end_quote\n"            "")
     ("#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n" "")
     ("#+begin_src r\n"          "")
     ("#+end_src\n"              "")
     ("--8<---------------cut"                     "")
     ("here---------------end--------------->8---" "")
     ("here---------------start------------->8---" "")
     ("Sendt fra min iPad"                         "")
     ("Sent using Zoho Mail"                       "")
     ("Skickades från E-post för Windows 10"       "")
     ("Skickat från Yahoo Mail för iPhone"         "")
     ("naïve" "naive")
     ("ʼ" "'")

     ("　" " ")
     ("・" "·")
