I'm just getting into archiving. Here's what I'm looking for: news
messages don't need to be archived at all. Mail messages sent from
certain groups should not be archived; those sent from other groups
(or from no group) should be. I want all archived messages to go into
a single group (or perhaps one archive group per archived group) on my
primary (nnmaildir) server, without any extra header fields added, if
possible. Here's what I've done so far:
(setq gnus-message-archive-method nil) ; no need for an extra server
(setq gnus-message-archive-group "nnmaildir:mail.sent")
Should I be using gnus-outgoing-message-group instead? Or gcc-self
group parameters? Can I avoid Gcc fields by using
gnus-outgoing-message-group and setting it to a function that returns
nil or ("nnmaildir:mail.sent") depending on whether the message should
be archived? Is Gcc normally included in the sent copy, and can it be
easily removed? TIA

This is a matter of taste, I guess. I think you can put a Lisp form
in gnus-message-archive-group but only a function name in
gnus-outgoing-message-group. But don't take my word for it.
> Or gcc-self group parameters?
I don't really like these. They are very simple to use, but not very
flexible. You can inherit the gcc-self group parameter via topics,
but you can't easily suppress them for news groups, say. (Except via
topics.)

No. gnus-outgoing-message-group is all about Gcc headers. But why do
you think Gcc headers are bad? You could use Bcc instead. Or Fcc.
> Is Gcc normally included in the sent copy,
No. Never, in fact. I don't think it is possible to write a message
such that the recipient sees a Gcc header; Gnus removes it before
sending.

Well. Can something be removed that isn't there? ;-)
