Mine looks like

(banner . "^[ 	\n]*-------------------+\\( eGroups Sponsor -+\\)?....\n\\([^-\n].*\n+\\)+-------------------+....[ 	\n]*\n\\|^To unsubscribe from .*\n.*unsubscribe@egroups.com\n*")

But I think I could simplify it by noticing that the ad banner contains
no empty lines and is followed by an empty line (IOW, it is delimited
by \n\n):

(banner . "^[ 	\n]*-------------------+\\( eGroups Sponsor -+\\)?....\n\\(.+\n\\)+\n*\\|^To unsubscribe from .*\n.*unsubscribe@egroups.com\n*")


Something I'd really like to see is per-article banners based on headers
such as author or Received, to strip out some of those annoying company
disclaimers, in addition to per-group banners for mailing lists etc.

(And maybe it would let me specify egroups banner in one place only,
instead of having to change each groups parameters every time they
change it - the groups don't have a common parent topic).
