As far as I'm concerned, the purpose for moving an article is to put
it in an appropriate group. In general what happens is I've read an
article and want to move it from my total-expire'd inbox (or some
other mail-source group that isn't especially topic oriented) to an
appropriate group based on its topic or maybe correspondent. In
general, I see no need to read it again immediately and in those cases
I want to, I tick it and expect the tick to be preserved. It has
worked that way for quite some time now and if mark preservation
doesn't work for groups created during the move, then that is a bug.
I'd have no trouble with an option that let you clear some or all
marks after moving should that make you happy, but I wouldn't want to
lose the present functionality.
