I was able to strip these eGroups banners (one at the beginning _and_
one at the end) by noting that the a simple newline properly delimits
the banner you're struggling to kill. Do we really need a "start" and
"end" regex pair for this?

(banner . "^---+ eGroups Sponsor\\(.+\n\\)+\n\\|^\nWant out\\? bmw\\(.\\|\n\\)*")
