Would it be possible to separate out this into something declarative that could be downloaded at will? The main problem with all these web-centred things is the need to update the source code whenever the HTML changes, and I don't see any general way to fix that. To parse Slashdot, for instance, you probably have to do that programmatically. But for stuff like ad removal, couldn't a language be defined for that? For instance a set of regexps (or something) that could be applied to the article bodies before displaying (on a per-source basis). The user could update these rules with, say, `M-x gnus-update-washing-rules' that would download the rules from some central repository. The important thing being, of course, that there would be no actual code being downloaded, because that would be a security problem. Heh. Imagine rules that would remove Yahoo ads from Yahoogroups mailing lists, and Sourceforge ads from those lists, and... Gnus ad blocker. :-) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
