(setq gnus-treat-display-smileys nil) worked, much obliged. I somehow mistook smileys for picons and turning off picons didn't get rid of the smileys... > > * It turns on reading of HTML'ized mail by default (and I can't > > figure out how to turn it off). > > How about: > > (setq mm-automatic-display (remove "text/html" mm-automatic-display)) That also did the trick.

Only so much one human being can do in a day. Stopped reading news a year or so ago, and monitoring another list seems like too much, even for something as important as Gnus. My trouble had not reached my pain threshold yet, and then someone on debian-ppc goes and mentions how excellent Gnus is, and voila!, problem solved. Thanks for the help, jas.
