Yes, that's through the crossposting support...

I'm not sure that would be workeable in general -- it could be annoying
to tick an article in one group and then having it be ticked in five
other groups, too.  But perhaps that would be nice for certain article
marks, like the "A" mark?  Actually, while I'm typing this, I get the
feeling that Gnus does have support for it somewhere, but I can't find
it...  Does anybody know whether this functionality is hiding somewhere?
