FWIW I've been using gnus for ~1year (moved from VM) and I find that the
gnus "ticks" are perfect for this sort of workflow -- if I tick an
article is persists and I know I need to respond at some point, if I
don't tick an article is disappears -- hidden but still in my inbox
until it is automatically archived after a month or so.
