Thank you.  This is a new one for me.

But unless I'm missing something, it looks like this function only gets
applied to the list of unread articles.  Is that correct?  I think that
I would need a similar function that would get applied to the list of
already-read articles.

My desired functionality is to shorten the list of already-read articles
that would get displayed, but to list the unreads as they normally get
listed.
