I never see that problem.

All I see in .gnus about headers that looks likely to bare on that is:
 (wrapped for mail)

(setq gnus-visible-headers 
  "^From:\\|^Subject:\\|^To:\\|^Date:\\|^Message-ID:\\|^X-Spam-Status:\\|
  ^X-HP.*:\\|^Newsgroups:\\|^X-Newsgroups:\\|^Keywords:\\|^Gnus-Warning:")

Mine is more inclusive that most folks would probably want but you see
the format there.

If you set a regex similar in form but only including headers you want
to see, does that do what you want?
