I don't like configs which are not in ~/.gnus.el, but I've set that in
my gnus-parameters:

,----[ C-h v gnus-parameters RET ]
| gnus-parameters is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is shown below.
| 
| Documentation:
| Alist of group parameters.

[...]

| Value: 
| (("Fastmail:INBOX\\.mailinglists\\."
|   (gcc-self . "nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.Sent Items")
|   (subscribed . t))

[...]

|  ("Uni:ml"
|   (subscribed . t)
|   (gcc-self . "nnimap+Uni:Sent"))
|  ("Uni:"
|   (gnus-use-scoring nil)
|   (gcc-self . t)))
`----

All mailing list groups are below Fastmail:INBOX.mailinglists or Uni:ml.

At least when writing a new message, the headers are not there.  Maybe
they're added after I send the message away with C-c C-c?

I already have that.

Hm, that's always nil.  I thought it's possibly set buffer-locally in a
mailinglist's summary or in a message buffer, but it's not...

Bye,
