how to turn off smileys

how to turn off smileys

[Bud Rogers]

OK, they're cute, but not when they're sprinkled through my Daily Usenet
Reports.  I'd like to just turn them off entirely.

I've tried adding 
        gnus-treat-display-smileys nil  and
        gnus-smiley-display nil
to my gnus-article-display-hook.  That doesn't do it.  I would appreciate a 
hint.

You shouldn't add them to your gnus-article-display-hook at
all. gnus-treat-* are variables, gnus-article-display-hook is a list of
functions (This is probably not 100% technically correct but I'm no
elisp programmer and I think I'm close enough ...)

You should be doing something like this :

(setq gnus-treat-display-smileys nil)

Thanks.  I've just begun to dabble at lisp.  Distinctions that would be
obvious to a real programmer sometimes trip me up.

Ack.  I tried that also, but I put a quote in from of the variable name
which didn't work.  Duh.  It works now.  Thanks again.

Would it work to put that line in Group Parameters to change the behaviour
on a per-group basis?

No, it's the wrong syntax for group parameters.  Maybe putting
(gnus-treat-display-smileys nil) in there (without the setq) will do
the trick, but I don't know for sure.  Might be worth a try, though.

If that doesn't work, you could add stuff to your
gnus-summary-mode-hook to set the variable:

(defun my-set-gnus-treat-display-smileys ()
  (cond ((string-match "foo.*bar" gnus-newsgroup-name)
         (setq gnus-treat-display-smileys t))
        ((string-match "foo" gnus-newsgroup-name)
         (setq gnus-treat-display-smileys nil))
        (t
         (setq gnus-treat-display-smileys nil))))
(add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'my-set-gnus-treat-display-smileys)

Yes, the function could be written more succinctly, but the above is a
general template which can be extended nicely.  The code is
untested; I hope it works anyway.
