That's what the "%a" is for in the capture template.

,----[ from C-h v org-capture-templates ]
|   %a          annotation, normally the link created with `org-store-link'
`----

However, the default setup (i.e., when org-capture-templates is nil)
also grabs the link:

,----[ org-capture.el (1110-1101) ]
|     ;; Use an arbitrary default template
|     '("t" "Task" entry (file+headline "" "Tasks") "* TODO %?\n  %u\n  %a")))
`----

Here's what happened when I used the default template on your email:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** TODO 
   [2010-12-01 Wed]
   [[gnus:address@hidden Troxel: Re: Re: org-mode gnus integration across two 
machines when using nnimap]]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But perhaps I misunderstand what you mean by the body of the default
gnus headline. Here's a simple template for capturing a link in a
headline:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("l" "link" entry
 (file "~/org/inbox.org")
 "* %a\n %U\n %?\n %i")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Do you have org-gnus in activated in org-modules (the default)?

Best,
Matt
