gmail will mark all messages in the thread as read when looking at any
part of the thread - so in practical terms whenever I click "Archive"
the entire thread is marked as read - as I always click archive in the
message view.

Not absolutely convinced this is the best approach. I think it is
important to appreciate the differences that different implementations
have chosen.
