I'm having exactly the same problem (eGroups banner). I can get rid
of one line okay (by customizing the group and putting
-------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~>\n
as the banner, but multiple-lines don't work. Oddly, though, the code
in article-strip-banner which deletes the banner is
(while (re-search-forward banner nil t)
(delete-region (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)))
and if I edit the article and eval this via M-: and the explicit
banner, it all goes. Is there some way I should be escaping newlines
in the regexp?
