Not sure it helps you, but here are my settings:

;; Pretty self-explanatory
(setq gnus-visible-headers "^From:\\|^Newsgroups:\\|^Subject:\\|^Date:\\
|^Followup-To:\\|^Reply-To:\\|^Summary:\\|^Keywords:\\|^To:\\|^[BGF]?Cc:\\
|^Posted-To:\\|^Mail-Copies-To:\\|^Mail-Followup-To:\\|^Apparently-To:\\
|^Gnus-Warning:\\|^Resent-From:\\|^X-Sent:\\|^User-Agent:\\|^X-Mailer:\\
|^X-Newsreader:")
(setq gnus-sorted-header-list '("^From:" "^Subject:" "^Summary:"
"^Keywords:" "^Newsgroups:" "^Followup-To:" "^To:" "^Cc:" "^Date:"
"^User-Agent:" "^X-Mailer:" "^X-Newsreader:"))

So, I only see those headers interesting to me. If I ever need to know
the rest, "t" toggles display of all headers.
