I'm assuming you're talking about the summary buffer in the above "field set to nobody" comment. The author is always you in that group, so you may like to display the destination instead (in the drafts group as well as other groups where you may be the author). See the node "To From Newsgroups" in the gnus manual for a way to do this. It gets rid of "nobody" and adds some useful information as well. -- Benjamin
