Uh yes, my fault.  You have to create the value not the specifier in
the user functions.

According to the docs, the function is called with the message
headers.  So (gnus-header-from dummy) should do this.  Maybe a final
call to FORMAT would render better readable results.

You get the error, because gnus-newsgroup-name is not set the first
time you enter a group :-(  And I don't know a way to get across this
off the top of my head.  But there must be a way.

Hmm, you still could try the gnus-parameter thingy.
