  we simply _HAVE_ to implement this.  Anyone know of a good smiley icon
repository? :)

How about a function gnus-article-hide-emoticon (W W e) that I can add
to gnus-article-prepare-hook so that I never have to see them ever again
in my life?

Seriously, all that we need is a good regexp, and we can be rid of them
forever:

(while (re-search-forward "\\s-*[[<(#]?[:;|%][-=*^]?[()|P!?/\\][]>)]?"
			  nil t)
  (replace-match "" nil nil))

It's a bit more complicated (as most things are :-).  

Which has now been demonstrated.  :-)  So there'll have to be some
additional logic, but it's definitely doable.

In case anyone actually wants some smiley icons, I got 15 small tiffs
from the next-icon mail list. They're available via HTTP at
<http://mmg2.im.med.umich.edu/~kcheek/smileys/>.

Are they free?  (As in GPL or public domain?)

I want to write a smiley.el which not only does the smiley faces, but
(in general) can make bits of text invisible and "replace" the text
with neat-o-keano glyphs.  Killing and yanking the text will then give
you the original text.  Like.

Well, so like I had my wisdom teeth pulled on Monday...  That didn't
leave much motivation for me to do anything productive today.
Therefore, I submit the very beginnings of the above mentioned project
(something, I've been wanting to see for a long time too).

You'll need ftp://ftp.ece.ucdavis.edu/pub/hardaker/smilies.tar.gz, as
well as the following lisp code.  Note that the default regular
expressions I threw together in roughly 5 minutes and haven't even
included all the faces in the face database (from Kevin) yet.  I'll
leave it to someone else (ie, a reg-exp and smiley expert) to clean
this up.  The good news is that it works (XEmacs required of course).

:-) :-\ :-] :-> :-/ :-| :-< :-(

Install the above lisp and smiley faces and re-read this message!

The faces should be colored in yellow, and the background should be
set to transparent (outside the circle), but again, I defer...

Well...  Having ran out of stuff to do (ie, procrastinated everything
else sucessfully), I played a bit more with the reg-exp list.  This
following includes more maps to faces and a few better reg-exps.  

(defvar gnus-smiley-regexp-alist '((":-*\\]" "FaceGrinning.xpm")
				 (":-*[oO]" "FaceStartled.xpm")
				 (":-*[)>]" "FaceHappy.xpm")
				 (":-*)" "FaceHappy.xpm")
				 (";-*[>)]" "FaceWinking.xpm")
				 (":-[/\\]" "FaceIronic.xpm")
				 (":-*|" "FaceStraight.xpm")
				 (":-*<" "FaceAngry.xpm")
				 (":-*d" "FaceTasty.xpm")
				 (":-*[pP]" "FaceYukky.xpm")
				 ("8-*|" "FaceKOed.xpm")
				 (":-*(" "FaceAngry.xpm")))

Now, I've simply GOT to go get some work done....  Errr, its been a
long time since I've played XPilot.  I wonder if I remember how?

Wes

Oh...  I forgot to mention, the reg-exp stuff really should watch out
for URLs' which by default get partly changed into smilies:

http://www.foo.bar/
    ^^
    parsed as a smily.
