That should work.

Yes, they're added later. You can preview the headers with C-c RET P.

What I wrote was wrong, sorry. Setting
message-subscribed-address-functions does not set
message-subscribed-addresses. Instead, the function(s) listed in the
former variable are evaluated to get a list of mailing-list addresses
you're subscribed to.

You can check this by evaluating

(gnus-find-subscribed-addresses)

This should return every 'to-list address where 'subscribed is t.

Alternatively, you can work without the 'subscribed' group parameter and
set message-subscribed-addresses manually in your .gnus, which should
have the same effect.
