This:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (advice-add
     'gnus-summary-show-article :after
     (lambda (&rest _)
       (my--diff-make-fine-diffs-if-necessary)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

did not work either.

If you're talking of things such as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (add-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-hook
              (lambda ()
                (run-at-time 0.0 nil 'my--diff-make-fine-diffs-if-necessary)))

    (add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook
              (lambda ()
                (run-at-time 0.0 nil 'my--diff-make-fine-diffs-if-necessary)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I've tried them both with no success either...

One question I've for the last 2 cases is "where is point?" when those
functions are run?  If they're in the summary buffer, no luck for me, or
will it be moved to the buffer where the hook is supposed to be applied?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
  Seb
