I had to use uni2ascii -e to get all the 0xA0's out of
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/29506/raw ,
as there is no Wash command to do it apparently.

Isn't it a font problem on you and me? I.e., there is no font
for the nbsp character available. In that article, I get a box
for nbsp in Emacs 22, and one-dot width space in Emacs 23.
A workaround is:
(add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook
(lambda nil (setq nobreak-char-display t)))
;; Gnus sets `nobreak-char-display' to nil locally in the article
;; buffer. t means display nbsp as "_".

I already see the glowing "_"'s. I just want to wash the article
before using
S W runs the command gnus-summary-wide-reply-with-original
because --- imaging me sending non-ASCII mess when my reply could
instead be pure ASCII.

Ok. How about this workaround?
(defun my-replace-nbsp-with-spc ()
"Replace nbsp with spc in the current buffer."
(let ((nbsp (string (make-char 'latin-iso8859-1 160))))
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (search-forward nbsp nil t)
(replace-match " "))))
(add-hook 'gnus-message-setup-hook 'my-replace-nbsp-with-spc)
If you want to run this also in the article buffer:
(add-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-hook 'my-replace-nbsp-with-spc)
I have no idea to add it to the Gnus wash functions.

OK, but I was thinking that since W C-h shows about 100 different wash
functions, there certainly should be some that do some of these functions:
Usage: uni2ascii [flags]
-c Convert circled and parenthesized characters.
-e Convert to approximate ASCII equivalents.
-f Convert formal equivalents to ASCII.
-x Expand certain single characters to equivalent sequences.
-y Convert certain characters to approximate single-characters.
-d Strip diacritics.
-n Convert newlines.
-s Convert space characters.
-B Best ASCII. Transform to ASCII if possible. Combines cdefx.
But it seems it would be best for the user to just use
(shell-command-on-region (region-beginning) (region-end) "uni2ascii
-e" ...
OK, I thought a Wash to ASCII group would be a common need (for me I
only encountered that one message with the need though)... OK, never
mind. Thanks anyway for your trouble.
