You're not doing anything wrong, Gnus doesn't display all headers by
default; what is shown is determined by the value of
`gnus-visible-headers'. The "t" key displays all headers, which is why
you see it there. If you want to always see it, you can do something
like:

(setq gnus-visible-headers
      (concat "^User-Agent:\\|" gnus-visible-headers))
