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.
