Well, if the article really is gone from the server, you might as
well mark it as read. It's not going to reappear...

It's quite normal for messages to be canceled/superseded/expired, so
you'd basically just display a message saying "I didn't fetch all the
articles" in (just about) every fetching session. So I don't think
that's necessary.
