   Using  gnus, I get all these things at the beginning and end of the
   messages I get over  clarinet.  The look something like.

		       _U_n_i_t_e_d_ _P_r_e_s_s_ _I_n_t_e_r_n_a_t_i_o_n_a_l

   Going through and deleting all instances of   _^H  get's me.

   While I can do this myself, or actually read it if I take the time, it's
   quite annoying.

Yes, it is annoying.  One solution is to load the man library, and then
use the function "M-x nuke-nroff-bs" which will strip out the _^H's.

Try putting this in your .emacs file:

(load-library "man")
(setq gnus-Article-prepare-hook 'nuke-nroff-bs)

This should fix things.  (cc'ed to cfyi because this is probably of general
interest)
