It doesn't for me, even with the %f directive, unless I add the string
"nobody" to gnus-ignored-from-addresses. That's a hack. I would expect
the "To From Newsgroups" algorithm to say:

o If From header is not present   <------ NB: Augmented behavior
    or
  From header matches gnus-ignored-from-addresses
  o If To header is present
    o Display To header contents
  o Else if Newsgroups header is present
    o Display Newsgroups header contents
  o Else
    o Display "nobody"
o Else
  o Display From header contents


Right now, I get "nobody" for all of my Drafts messages because they
all lack the From header.
