You have to add the *-extra-headers part because Gnus uses the
overview information *only* for building summaries, and the two
variables make it so that the From header is inserted into the
overview data (which is not there by default).

Setting gnus-ignored-from-addresses is there for extra flexibility.
Maybe you have more than one email address, or you want to display the
To header for mails from frumple, too.  Or something.  Maybe a
reasonable default for this variable is missing.
