Not questionble at all: you shouldn't.
You should be switching on the backend type, and only use Mail-Copies-To
when using a news backend.  Admittedly mine is back-asswards, creating the
header by default and removing it for non-nntp backends:

	(cond ((or (not (boundp 'gnus-select-method))
		   (not (equal (car gnus-select-method) 'nntp)))
	       (let* ((headers nil))
		 (setq headers (list "Mail-Copies-To"
				     "X-No-Archive"))
		 (message-narrow-to-headers)
		 (while headers
		   (message-remove-header (car headers))
		   (setq headers (cdr headers)))
		 )))

But that should give you an idea of what to switch on.
Or else posting styles could be used, probably.

Which has its own plethora of problems, but there you have it.
