Thank you!

This looks like it would do the trick.

And this brings up one more question: for the list of articles that gets
passed to `gnus-alter-articles-to-read-function', how do I tell which
of these articles are unread, and which are already read?

Is there perhaps a function I can call with an article number as an
argument which will tell me if it's read/unread/whatever?  Or are there
appropriate hashtables that I can access with the article number as a
key?  Or ... ???
