I was thinking more along the lines of archiving a message from the
Inbox (or similar) view, in which the 'unread' state does remain
preserved.

Marking all messages as read as soon as the thread is opened is a
separate issue (and *far* from sensible), but this heavy-handed approach
is probably a necessity (as opposed to being a deliberate choice) due to
the limitations of its current interface, which Notmuch thankfully
doesn't share.
