Yeah. There's a bunch of other possible functions, but none of them
seem to work here (though nil might work nicely).

I agree. The method is a way to make Gnus act like a 'normal' MUA in
mail groups. Combined with expiring it would give you almost the same
work-flow, but in more 'traditionalist' manner, if e.g. TB represents
a 'traditional' MUA.

It seems counter-intuitive to me, but it's not my mailbox!
Just out of curiosity, 'cause I'm still not fully appreciating your
setup; Say you have a mail X that's semi-interesting. Do you then,
read it, mark it as unread, close the buffer, go back later, read it
again and unread it?
I used to use a similar setup in Thunderbird, though I would 'archive'
boring emails ('expire' in Gnus, I guess) and keep the remaining read
emails in my inbox together with new emails.
Cheers,
Rasmus
