I don't get anything in an FCC header field. Maybe check out the values
of the gnus-archive-.* variables? I don't believe the default is to
have anything defined for file copy so you must be setting something
yourself?

I use:
(setq gnus-posting-styles '((".*" (address "e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk"))))
much abridged... and also have
(setq user-mail-address "e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk")
I'm not sure if both are needed; probably the first is the most
important for using gnus but much of this is a mystery to me!
HTH,
