I have, among other things, the following in my Gnus setup:

(setq message-required-mail-headers
      (nconc message-required-mail-headers
	     (list '(Bcc . user-mail-address))
	     (list '(X-Attribution . "DZM"))))

This way, all outgoing mail gets Bcc'd to myself.  This means that
Gnus sees outgoing messages as incoming, too, and gets magically
sorted into the correct groups.  Plus, since it's a Bcc and not a
normal Cc, there's not ugly extra mail headers floating around.  If I
actually want a normal Bcc then I need to remember to add myself in,
but this only happens rarely.

Maybe (add-to-list 'message-required-news-headers (cons 'Gcc
user-mail-address)) does the trick?

Hmm, I use Gnus 5.8.7 and this all works fine for me.  Note that there 
are two things added to message-required-mail-headers, a Bcc entry and 
an X-Attribution entry.  It also might be worth noting that I set
these up in an init file that gets read before I start Gnus; not sure
if this is actually important.  Also, the 'list' calls seem a little
redundant at this point, but I probably wrote that in a more
Scheme-happy day.

X-Attribution is used by Supercite.  If it's present in a message
being replied to, its contents are used as the default citation.  (One 
of these days, I'll dive in and fix Supercite to DWIW...)

There is a package called header-action.el which lets you specify
things to do when hitting C-c C-c based on various header values.
