It's not clear what you have done since you restarted emacs.  If you
have done nothing in terms of settings for gnus, the current behaviour
should persist.  If you did do something, what is it you did?

To get the headers you want displayed, check out 

,----[ C-h v gnus-visible-headers RET ]
| gnus-visible-headers is a variable defined in `gnus-art.el'.
| Its value is
| "^From:\\|^Date:\\|^Newsgroups:\\|^Subject:\\|^To:\\|^[BGF]?Cc:\\|^Gnus-Warning:"
| Original value was 
| "^From:\\|^Newsgroups:\\|^Subject:\\|^Date:\\|^Followup-To:\\|^Reply-To:\\|^Organization:\\|^Summary:\\|^Keywords:\\|^To:\\|^[BGF]?Cc:\\|^Posted-To:\\|^Mail-Copies-To:\\|^Mail-Followup-To:\\|^Apparently-To:\\|^Gnus-Warning:\\|^Resent-From:"
| 
| Documentation:
| *All headers that do not match this regexp will be hidden.
| This variable can also be a list of regexp of headers to remain visible.
| If this variable is non-nil, `gnus-ignored-headers' will be ignored.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
