Another possibility is to set gnus-ignored-from-addresses to something
that matches your own addresses:

,----[ C-h v gnus-ignored-from-addresses RET ]
| `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' is a variable declared in Lisp.
|   -- loaded from "gnus-sum"
| 
| Value: "\\(asjo\\|adam\\)@\\(koldfront.dk\\|asjo.org\\)"
| 
| Documentation:
| *From headers that may be suppressed in favor of To headers.
| This can be a regexp or a list of regexps.
`----

(This functionality perhaps also accounts for the description of %f that
was confusing to you?)
