While not exactly what you want, I tend to use org-mode for this - I
simply "remember" the mails/posts I want to respond to and tag
them/schedule them accordingly in org files. Doing the work is then a
single key press away from my agenda/list of things to do (org-mode
stores a link to the gnus article).
If its simply a case of keeping an article visible for a short period I
just mark it with "!".
