Hi guys, 

Thanks a lot, that was helpful. I'm now able to hide the Cc list by
default, so I don't see the horribly long Cc lists. 

However, I'd still love to show the Cc list with only the first few
recipients though, which I think is what 
   (setq gnus-boring-article-headers '(long-to))
is supposed to do. This still doesn't work though.

Is anyone else using gnus-boring-article-headers?

I forgot to say but I'm using Gnus v5.13 and GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1

Cheers,

Sam
