Conditional smileys?

Conditional smileys?

[Edvard Majakari]

Yet another question (not smiley-specific, actually): How can I easily
prohibit smiley.el converting ascii-strings to icons within certain
newsgroups?  I like the thingy, but reading comp.lang.perl.* is
sometimes a tad tedious with smileys :)

Sadly, its not easy because you have to remove the smiley-function from the
appropriate hook (ie, (remove-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook
'gnus-smiley-display)), but this isn't as easy as it sounds because
putting this in the group parameters doesn't work...  Even if you
force it to make the gnus-article-display-hook local, its only local
to the summary buffer, and the article buffer doesn't inherit
variables from the summary buffer.  I sure wish it would, cause I've
wanted to do other things like this as well...

Why not add some tests to the standard to smiley-ification function
to ignore groups by regexp, or (if the regexp is nil) by some group
parameter?

Cause there are more than one package that I would like to see this
done with.  For instance, normally I don't want the '^L' page breaks,
but in alt.fan.warlord I do.  But setting this in the group parameters
doesn't work, as it affects the article buffer not the summary
buffer.  There should be a way (ie TODO list time) to set article
buffer local variables in the group parameters...  Also, a method of
easily adding/removing items from hooks (temporarily) is needed...
