Thank you, this worked!  (Additionally, I had to revert the default
colour for the inactive mode line.)

For me, this didn’t work out-of-the-box.  Apparently, the colour
“gnus-header” is defined rather late in the Gnus startup.  I had to
write:

(add-hook 'gnus-setup-news-hook (lambda () (set-face-attribute 'gnus-header nil :inherit 'unspecified)))

Even the gnus-started-hook was not “late” enough.

Tschö,
Torsten.
