I've modified my copy of Gnus to use gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method
when subscribing from a Browse Server buffer a long time ago.  I didn't
propose to include this patch though because the default value of
g-s-n-m is rather inappropriate for explicitly subscribing groups.

Attached is a version that introduces a
gnus-browse-subscribe-newsgroup-method variable instead.  OK to commit
to No Gnus?  I vaguely remeber some discussion about a feature freeze
(Reiner?).

The comma looks like a typo to me.  You can avoid this by letting
Message Mode generate the header.  C-c C-f C-a runs the command
message-generate-unsubscribed-mail-followup-to.
