One from Alex, no idea which works better but also based on that pgp
stripper....
Give it to them;-)
<oneliner>
%Cursor%Quotes="%SetPattRegExp=""(?is)(.*^-----BEGIN PGP SIGN
ED.*?\n(Hash:.*?\n)?\s*|\A-----.*---------------.*?\n{1,})?(.*?)
(^(- --\s*\n|- ---\s*\n|--\s*\n|---\s*\n|_{40,}\s*\n|-----BEG

If you like to match _only_ eGroups banners with this one, try substituting
"----------------------_->" (w/o quotes)
for
"--------------.*?" in above regexp, but I can give no warranty that eGroups
will not change their delimiter... Besides, the "general syntax" gegexp works
well against other "group banners" I have encountered so far. It will only fail
if the message contains a long enough sequence of dashes in the body of the
message or in the signature.
Credits: Peter Steiner, Marck D. Pearlstone. I have somewhat edited the last
anti-PGP-sig macro suggested by Marck because I wanted to target both goals with
one regexp: to both strip off PGP stuff and to cut away the group banners...
