Why does this puzzle you? :-)

Seeing to whom/what you sent something is usually more interesting than
your own name.

Check out the variable gnus-ignored-from-addresses:

,----[ C-h v gnus-ignored-from-addresses RET ]
| `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' is a variable declared in Lisp.
|   -- loaded from "gnus-sum"

| Value: ... elided ...

| Documentation:
| *From headers that may be suppressed in favor of To headers.
| This can be a regexp or a list of regexps.

Please don't, it is annoying and a waste of time.

But since you have set user-mail-address in your configuration, I guess
you can quickly see how to change it?
