I have "gcc: nnml:outbox" which works most of the time, but I
occasionally need to edit it... often I can't remember the bindings to
take me into the header, except ^C ^F ^C to get me to the cc: line.
So if I have to change the gcc: or remove it, I simply searched for
gcc:. Now today I finally want to think about reducing keystokes, and
noticed that there was no message-goto-gcc!
Is it missing for the same reason that I didn't notice it missing until now?
:-)

Something to just toggle it on/off would be nice, as well.

Shameless plug alert.
I've got the following code which computes a good Gcc header (good for
me, that is) and offers a toggle function.
(defun message-toggle-gcc ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(let ((pmin (progn (beginning-of-buffer) (point)))
(pmax (progn
(beginning-of-buffer)
(re-search-forward (concat "^" mail-header-separator
"$"))
(beginning-of-line)
(point))))
(beginning-of-buffer)
(narrow-to-region pmin pmax)
(if (re-search-forward "^gcc: .*" nil t)
(progn
(beginning-of-line)
(kill-line 1))
(goto-char pmax)
(insert (concat "Gcc: "
(kai-gnus-outgoing-message-group)
"\n")))))))
(defun kai-gnus-outgoing-message-group ()
(cond ((and gnus-newsgroup-name
(stringp gnus-newsgroup-name)
(not (string= "" gnus-newsgroup-name))
(string-match "^\\(nnml\\|nnimap\\):" gnus-newsgroup-name))
gnus-newsgroup-name)
((and gnus-newsgroup-name
(stringp gnus-newsgroup-name)
(string-match "^nntodo:" gnus-newsgroup-name))
nil)
(t "nnml:inbox")))
The toggle function is really awful and should have used one of those
nice message functions for positioning on a header and stuff. But it
is very old -- maybe I can defend myself by saying those functions
didn't exist back then?

Looks like that will do the trick; I'll give it a whirl, thanks!
