`gnus-visible-headers' controls the visible headers in an article buffer
(gnus-article-mode).  That's something different than the message-mode
that you have when writing new messages.

For the headers you get in message-mode, have a look at this variable
and the referenced ones.

,----[ C-h v message-generate-headers-first RET ]
| message-generate-headers-first is a variable defined in `message.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Which headers should be generated before starting to compose a message.
| If t, generate all required headers.  This can also be a list of headers to
| generate.  The variables `message-required-news-headers' and
| `message-required-mail-headers' specify which headers to generate.
| 
| Note that the variable `message-deletable-headers' specifies headers which
| are to be deleted and then re-generated before sending, so this variable
| will not have a visible effect for those headers.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

I wouldn't bet any money on that. ;-)
