I made a small patch to gnus-msg.el that provides a new group
parameter "gcc-self". If this is set to t in a groups's parameter
list, the gcc line is always build according to the right group name
if you send from inside of this this group. I process all my article
saving with this, except for a standart archive server line for misc
mail or misc news like:

    (setq gnus-message-archive-group
	     '((if (message-news-p)
		   "misc-news"
		 "misc-mail")))

If gcc-self is set to none, no gcc line at all appears in this group. I
use this for articles gong to mailing lists I,m subscribed to, as my
article will come back anyway.

A typical group parameter list would be (for ding.ifi.uio.no):

;; Type `C-c C-c' after editing the group parameters.

((gcc-self . none)
 (to-address . "ding@ifi.uio.no"))


And another for some private email:

;; Type `C-c C-c' after editing the group parameters.

((gcc-self . t)
 (to-address . "LITZLER@KHE.SCN.DE"))


I append my patch below, I already sent it to Lars but it will not be
integrated (if at all) before Red Gnus.
