That's what I was thinking, too. There could be a little bonus in there,
in that you could customize whether it is the Seen or gnus-seen flags
that decide if gnus shows an article as read or unread. So if you're not
using your tablet/phone as a primary mail device, you could choose to
have gnus basically ignore the fact that you'd read an article on that
device. If you set it the other way, gnus will treat the articles as
read and hide them, but still split them.
Implementing this would be another issue...
