deuglifing articles

[GH]

Hi, how can I set functions on articles when I open it to read, maybe a
hook?

I want for example run (gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article) on open
an article

Also,

many mails from gmail are using Top Posting[1] style, any function to
deuglify it?

How about this hook:

,----[ C-h v gnus-article-mode-hook RET ]
| gnus-article-mode-hook is a variable defined in ‘gnus-art.el’.
| 
| Its value is nil
| 
| A hook for Gnus article mode.
| 
|   This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.
|   You can customize this variable.
| 
`----

?

I think it has been discussed before, but I can't remember if anybody
came up with something good.

It would be really nice to have a way to move around quotes
automatically, but without trimming (which top posters rarely do), it
might not be of much use in practice?


  Best regards,

You can hide the quoted part (instead show a button which will
open it), hide the signature and so on - like you can with any
mail for that matter - but how do you intend to deuglify the
posting style and into what?

maybe a function that count the ">" sorting, for example, ">>>" on top
of ">>" idk

Okay but what's the goal more precisely?

(setq gnus-treat-hide-citation t)

TAB is `forward-button' and
<backtab> can be `backward-button'

If you want to fill the citation on open, do this - but, it's
not always what you want -

(defun gnus-article-show-filled-citation ()
  "Fill the citation opened on a hidden citation button press."
  (interactive)
  (let*((pos (point))
        (but (get-char-property pos 'button)) )
    (when but
      (widget-button-press pos)
      (save-excursion
        (gnus-article-fill-cited-article) ))))

If you take a look at this you may also help me by making me
aware if stuff can be removed since it's already in Gnus,
that has always been a problem for me with Elisp and even more
so with my Elisp for Gnus.
