Can I mark a mail as read and expired at the same time?

[Trevor Murphy <trevor.m.murphy@gmail.com>]

I'm new to Gnus and utterly stumped here.  I think the answer is "No",
because all the "read" marks are mutually exclusive.

This may just be a frustration born of heavy Gmail use.  I'd like to do
the equivalent of the Gmail web interface's "archive the current
message", a/k/a having just marked the mail as read, now remove it from
the inbox.

I can't use total-expire because I don't want to automatically expire
*all* read messages.  Just some of the crappy ones.

I tried to find a way to limit the marks that total-expire acts on, but
I get the sense that's impossible.

I'm thinking I might be able to write a function to go in the
gnus-summary-article-expire-hook, but before diving down that rabbit
hole I figured I'd search the list, stack overflow, Google, etc.  

Weirdly, I couldn't find any mention of this problem in any of those
sources.  Am I missing something obvious?  Or does nobody else have the
same workflow?

Incidentally, I've asked the same question on superuser.  Not sure if
this community overlaps with those guys, given the low number of
Gnus-related questions I saw.
