You can use

   %~(form (gnus-extra-header 'To))@

in your `gnus-summary-line-format' to display the To header.  So the
format might look something like:

   "%U%R%z%-23,23a %-23,23~(form (gnus-extra-header 'To))@ %d %s\n"

Also look at the %f specifier which displays To instead of From if the

Very likely I misunderstood this, however I frankly cannot connect to
the node you wrote up, that is using for example goto-address-at-point
or the function 
found in emacs wiki


(defun my-jump2 ()
  "Jump to the thing at point."
  (interactive)
  (let ((thing (ffap-guesser)))
       (if thing (ffap thing))
    t))
any how I try the classical way, loading info and see

Isn't the link automatically highlighted by Gnus?  You just need to
click on it, and the manual will open at the right spot.

It  is  not with  xemacs 21.4.15 but  using mouse  3 (right mouse) the
manual opens. Thanks

Hm that would mean I have to do it of every group no?
I tried it with this group and gnus-summary-line-format:
I presume you refer to the end of the menu, where variables are?

No.  

(1) With `gnus-parameters':

(setq gnus-summary-line-format "standard-format")
(setq
 gnus-parameters
 '(("^\\(nnimap\\|nnfolder\\|nnml\\)"
    (gnus-summary-line-format "special-format-for-mail"))))

(2) With `gnus-group-customize':

I'd suggest to use topics mode: Put news and mail in different topics
and customize the mail topic using `G c'.

Yes.
