Fix to avoid empty Gcc: line when not inside a group

I have (gcc-self 't) in my main mail topic, because I don't want to set this
for each individual mail group. This means that gnus-message-archive-group
is not used. This fine for almost all circumstances, except when I start
composing a message while in the group buffer. Then an empty Gcc: line appears
(because is in this case gnus-newsgroup-name is ""). In this case I would like
however that gnus-message-archive-group takes effect. I have applied the
following patch to gnus-msg.el to achieve this.

I suspect however, that seeing the first condition (and gnus-newsgroup-name ..)
the value of gnus-newsgroup-name is supposed to be nil when not inside a
group...
