Hm...  won't this make Gnus think that the articles doesn't exist?  So
they'll end up in the "unexist tracking" list?  I don't think that's
correct...

I think it would be better to just convey the information up to the Gnus
layer, and then Gnus could have a switch to not display these deleted
messages.

Or perhaps just pretend like all \Deleted messages are \Read?
