Starting from emacs -Q, evaluating

    (progn
      (eval-after-load 'ffap
        '(setq ffap-newsgroup-heads (remove "misc" ffap-newsgroup-heads)))
      (require 'ffap))

gets an error

    void-variable ffap-newsgroup-heads

where I hoped the eval-after-load meant after ffap is available and
therefore its various variables exist.

It looks like ffap.el has (provide 'ffap) near the start of the file,
instead of at the end.  The end is usual so that eval-after-load can be
used on a feature symbol as above, is it?
