,----[ <f1> v gnus-summary-line-format RET ]
| Documentation:
| *The format specification of the lines in the summary buffer.

| %F Contents of the From: header (string)
| %f Contents of the From: or To: headers (string)

Doing an index search in the manual for this variable (<f1> i d m gnus
RET i gnus-summary-line-format RET), I get:
,----[ (info "(gnus)Summary Buffer Lines") ]
| `f'
| The name, `To' header or the `Newsgroups' header (*note To From
| Newsgroups::).

Maybe we should add the part about Newsgroups in the doc string as
well.
,----[ (info "(gnus)To From Newsgroups") ]

|
| (setq gnus-extra-headers
| '(To Newsgroups X-Newsreader))
|
| This will result in Gnus trying to obtain these three headers, and
| storing it in header structures for later easy retrieval.

So removing Newsgroups from `gnus-extra-headers' should help.

If you can give us some keyword which you tried for your search, we
could add them to the index of the manual.
