I'm not 100 per cent sure what you want, but hopefully the following
will be of some assistance to you:

The above simply resides in your ".gnus" file in your home directory
to enable you to set the headers correctly when you:

(a) respond to an email or item in a newsgroup

(b) initialize an email or article in a newsgroup

Newsgroups and emails whilst almost identical are treated somewhat
differently.

To respond to an email or a newsgroup article, simply press 'f" to
reply without quoting the original email, or "F" to respond with the
text of the original email quoted in your reply. 

To initiate a new newsgroup item, press "a" - for Article

To initiate a new email, press "m" - for Mail

In either instance, if you are in the group buffer with the cursor
positioned over a group for which special header rules apply, the
headers will be completed automatically.

If you invoke "m" or "a" when you are not in a group with special
headers defined, the default or standard headers will be included but
you will have to supply any missing ones manually.
