'To' and 'Newsgroups' extra headers

'To' and 'Newsgroups' extra headers

[romeomedina]

In order to have the 'To' header displayed in the summary buffer,
I put in ~/.gnus.el the following:

(setq gnus-extra-headers '(To))
(setq gnus-summary-line-format
 ":%U%R%z%I %-15,15a| %-20,20~(form (gnus-extra-header 'To))@| %s
%-85=|%4L |%D \n")

. Now, I want gnus to display the 'To' header when it exists, i.e. for
mails,
but the 'Newsgroups' header in its place when the 'To' header does not
exist
and there is the 'Newsgroup' header, i.e. with newsgroups messages.

Any suggestion about the right syntax in ~/.gnus.el?

Thanks,
Rodolfo

I don't understand why you don't follow the suggestions in the manual:

,----[ (info "(gnus)To From Newsgroups") ]
|    A related variable is `nnmail-extra-headers', which controls when to
| include extra headers when generating overview (NOV) files.  If you
| have old overview files, you should regenerate them after changing this
| variable, by entering the server buffer using `^', and then `g' on the
| appropriate mail server (e.g. nnml) to cause regeneration.
| 
|    You also have to instruct Gnus to display the data by changing the
| `%n' spec to the `%f' spec in the `gnus-summary-line-format' variable.
| 
|    In summary, you'd typically put something like the following in
| `~/.gnus.el':
| 
|      (setq gnus-extra-headers
|            '(To Newsgroups))
|      (setq nnmail-extra-headers gnus-extra-headers)
|      (setq gnus-summary-line-format
|            "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n")
|      (setq gnus-ignored-from-addresses
|            "Your Name Here")
| 
|    (The values listed above are the default values in Gnus.  Alter them
| to fit your needs.)

Bye, Reiner.

I also put:

(setq nnmail-extra-headers gnus-extra-headers)

. The purpose I wanted is achieved, but *only* once the article
has been saved on disk. When I enter the nntp gnu.emacs.gnus newsgroup, 
all the articles have the 'From' header in place of the 'Newsgroups' header.
Then ,if I copy an article in another group and then open it again, I see the
'Newsgroups' header correctly displayed. It's strange?

Thanks,

         (setq gnus-ignored-from-addresses "")
