The patch below helps to deal with people who don't trim their
citations and who have giant signatures. It makes SPC just skip over
the rest of the article (instead of scrolling) if the rest of the
article consists only of citations and signature. It also makes SPC
and DEL in the article buffer work exactly the same as in the summary
buffer, instead of just mostly the same.

It doesn't look like this feature is configurable. I don't want it
active without my having to do something, given that it potentially
skips things I am interested in.

Well, the feature should default to "off", which means that the user
would have to tinker somewhat with `gnus-article-boring-faces' to
switch it on. It would be more convenient to have another nil/t
variable to switch the feature off/on.

Ah. It's not active unless the list of faces is present. That's good but
not intuitive -- I was looking for a nil/t control.
Actually, something that let you specify 'long or 'short as a predicate
would be nice; if the article has few lines and much signature I
probably don't want the boring bit skipped. :)

Ok; how does this look?
I also rewrote gnus-article-only-boring-p; the new version is cleaner,

How good a heuristic is this? Many mailers attach patches etc. after
the signature. Currently Gnus highlights the whole patch as a
signature. This is distracting, but OK. With the new behaviour, this
will actually become annoying -- I can't use SPC to browse through
the patch.

I am finding it very useful; I read several mailing lists frequented
by nontechnical people, who routinely post a few lines of text
followed by literally hundreds of lines of quotations and signature.
Reading these lists is much more pleasant now. Also, I am sure that
I've hit "n" many times in the past to skip over what I thought was a
huge block of useless quotation, but which actually contained some
content in the middle; now I can just hit SPACE and let Gnus look
ahead.

I think we should make signature detection more reliable, then.
As a start, I think gnus-signature-limit should be set by default,
perhaps to 20.0. It might also be useful if we had a separate list
of regexps that could not appear in a signature.

That behavior is very different. I don't want citations or signatures
to be hidden entirely; I just want to automatically skip over them.
If there is space in the window, I'd like them displayed, no matter
how long. Article washing can't do that, because it takes place on
the article as an single continuous object; the article isn't rewashed
every time it's scrolled.

I have rarely seen signatures with blank lines. (In fact, I can't
remember having seen one.)
Do you think that might work?

I think I have; some people have signatures in the format:
--
John Doe
Foo Corporation
"Amusing quotation!"
Although, I cannot find an example right now.
