Well, if that is you problem, then nn has a (partial) solution:

When you are reading an article which you MAY want to respond to if
nobody else has done that in a following article, use the `l' key.
This will keep the article selected on the menu and continue to the
next selected article.

When all the selected articles in the group has been read, nn will
show you the l'ed articles again, and now you can deside whether you
want to respond or not.

Of course, this will only work within a single invokation of nn, i.e.
you cannot mark the article for a later invokation of nn, but it is
still better than nothing.

To make l'ed (or L'ed?) articles survive to the next invokation of nn
is not possible at present, but it is on my to-do list.
