This handles the re-highlighting after I do something that *selects*
the article:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
(defun my-remove-article-from-unseen ()
  (setq gnus-newsgroup-unseen 
	(delq article gnus-newsgroup-unseen)))

(add-hook 'gnus-mark-article-hook 'my-remove-article-from-unseen)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It doesn't visually remove the unseen mark symbol ".", but that's not
important for me.  Also, this has no effect if I do something that
doesn't select the article, like marking by hand with 'd'.  All in
all, it does about 90% of WIM.

Now that I've played around with this, I think limiting to unseens
would be more effective than highlighting unseens.  It would focus my
attention on them better and it would probably be a cleaner way to do
this, but I can't find a way to limit like that.

Any hints on limiting to unseen?  Hey - how about a dedicated key,
like '/ .' and a related function that could be run automatically upon
entering a group?

Cheers -
