Also, wouldn't it be better for such "mark" menu > entries to be under "article" rather than Gnus? > Small addendum : To follow up from that, it would be really, really, really nice if operations like M-u worked on the region of selected articles too - as it is when you hilite a bunch of articles and press M-u the general assumption would be that all articles selected would be marked as unread. Only the one under the cursor is - I think a definite userability improvement if mark operations respect all selected articles in the region.
