With this, I would not have been confused, I think.  Maybe it can be
made shorter?

Mark as unread (nil)? (nil=>none, t=>all, some=>all downloaded)

I'm still of two minds regarding the two parentheses.  It might be
not quite clear that the first one is the default.  Hm.

Is it really necessary to use nil and t, can't we just use none, all,
and some or something similar?  Or perhaps single letters?

Mark (n)o / (a)ll / all (d)ownloaded articles as unread? (n)

Mark as unread: none, all, some (all downloaded)? (none)

Which articles to mark as unread? (none)
(In this variant, rely on completion to show the possible values.  One
of the values could be the lengthy "some (all downloaded)", or perhaps
just "all downloaded".)
