No, I think Gnus will show the To header instead of the From header by
default now.  If the backend gives Gnus the required information, which
most of them do.

Even with the tip of the master branch, Gnus was not showing the To
header. Adam's advice did work for me, though. Thanks, Leo.

It often works out of the box, but if not you may need to adjust
gnus-ignored-from-addresses:

,----[ C-h v gnus-ignored-from-addresses RET ]
| gnus-ignored-from-addresses is a variable defined in `gnus-sum.el'.
| Its value is
| "\\(asjo\\|adam\\)@\\(koldfront.dk\\|asjo.org\\)"
| Original value was

| *From headers that may be suppressed in favor of To headers.
| This can be a regexp or a list of regexps.
|

gnus-summary-line-format for outboxes

[Leo Butler]

I am curious as to how one sets gnus-summary-line-format `corrrectly' for an
email outbox? Is is really necessary create a user-defined function to
fish the To field out of the header information?
