Yesterday, I tried to do that only to find that the ‘m’ key stopped working on all those articles and the ‘keep unread’ check box was gone from the bottom of each article so there is no way to make a ‘Mark all as read’ article ‘unread’ anymore.  How frustrating.
I don’t know why Google added this behaviour, but it sure is annoying and I’d like them to fix it.
