add the header? yes. quoted text being removed by gnus due to it? no :)

that's something new for me, must be one of larsi's ideas ;)
that header was intended for protection of my e-mail address stored in various
archives, but it's already in spammers' databases :(

yes, my e-mail is stored in nnml groups which all have level 2.

i guess so.
the reason i have mail on level 2 and news on level 3 is that the connection
to news server is much slower than to my mail server, so checking news status
every few minutes would be pain. and updating information about news groups
is another few wasted seconds.
