Subject: hiding long To and Cc headers in *Article* buffer

Hi all,

At my extremely large and MS-centric company there is an ingrained and
uncorrectable habit of maintaining explicit mailing lists in MS
Outlook, and putting the entire mailing list explicitly into the To:
or Cc: fields.  When I receive these messages in Gnus, I have to
scroll down for several pages to actually see the text (which is
usually much shorter than the address list!).

Before I got added onto one of these mailing lists, I never needed to
worry about it and was happily setting gnus-visible-headers to a
certain regular expression.  But now ...

What I'm looking for is either

  (1) some sort of "washing" method to remove just the To and Cc
      fields

or

  (2) toggle gnus-visible-headers to a regexp that does not include To
      or CC.

As a hack, I came up with something for 2, but my elisp skills are
rudimentary and I'm getting the commandp syntax wrong.  Any advice on
fixing my solution or getting a (1)-style solution would be much
appreciated!

Thanks, Ted
