How does crosspost mark propagation work for nntp groups? I suspect it might be possible to implement something like it for nnimap by looking in the nnmail message-id split log when applying marks to a group (i.e., for each article with new marks, look up the message id in the split log and find out what other groups it was crossposted to and apply the same mark to it).
