I liked it, but I agree that it can cause havoc for certain messages.

YAV wouldn't help much coz you typically want to turn it off for a
particular message.  There'll be groups where you want to off by
default, which is where another variable might be useful.

I think the general solution to article buffer massagers that get in
the way for special articles is to provide unmassagers, functions that
reverse the effects of the massagers.  This would be useful for
smiley.el as well.  

If all massagers provided two hook-safe functions, feature-foo-article
and un-feature-foo-article, we wouldn't need variables.  They could be
added to the appropriate hook and given bindings in the W keymap.
