The semantics of all the gnus-treat-* variables are the same -- set
the variable to t, and the function will be done.  There are, however,
"competing" variables.  For instance -- gnus-treat-highlight-signature
and gnus-treat-hide-signature.  Set the latter, and you want see the
results of setting the former.
