Hi Folks!
So many mailing lists these days have [un]subscription info or
advertising tacked onto the end of every message... Thank God for the
'banner' parameter. :-)
Unfortunately, I'm starting to see mailing lists with multiple bits of
this type of thing. So '(banner . signature)' doesn't work because
that only removes the last signature in a message.
I could...
(setq gnus-article-banner-alist
'((big-banner . "regexp-1\\|regexp-2")))
(setq gnus-parameters
'(("group\\(1\\|2\\)"
(banner . big-banner))))
But I want to do something like...
(setq gnus-article-banner-alist
'((banner-1 . "regexp-1")
(banner-2 . "regexp-2")))
(setq gnus-parameters
'(("group1"
(banner . banner-1))
("group2"
(banner . (concat banner-1 "\\|" banner-2)))))
But I can't get it to work. Anybody got any ideas?

(setq gnus-article-banner-alist
(let* ((b1 "regexp-1")
(b2 "regexp-2"))
(list (cons 'banner-1 b1)
(cons 'banner-2 b2)
(cons 'banner-1-2 (concat b1 "\\|" b2)))))
(setq gnus-parameters
'(("group1"
(banner . banner-1))
("group2"
(banner . banner-1-2))))
IIRC, the `banner' parameter value must be a symbol.

Use normal variables instead of gnus-article-banner-alist entries, and
use `, in gnus-parameters.
(setq my-banner-1 "regexp-1"
my-banner-2 "regexp-2"
gnus-parameters
`(("group1"
(banner . ,my-banner-1))
("group2"
(banner . ,(concat my-banner-1 "\\|" my-banner-2)))))

Yep, that works quite well. But I'd rather use
'gnus-article-banner-alist' than define a whole stack of little
variables. However, your suggestion helped me solve another little
problem I had, so thank you.

Perfect! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Well, the variables are used at the time gnus-parameters is defined,
not when the parameters are used. So if you just don't want to
pollute the global variable namespace, a let form would work here too.
FWIW.
