Marking tagged articles/threads as read using 'K' works without  
changing the code when mark_ignore_tags = OFF (group and thread  
level). In this case, 'K' isn't "prompt free".

We could change the behavior of 'Z' to work on tagged articles/ 
threads like 'K'.

To get rid of the additional keystroke, mark_ignore_tags could be  
changed from ON/OFF to something like 'ignore/prompt/don't prompt'.  
'don't prompt' would act as ^X/^Y (or ^X/^T) if tagged articles/ 
threads are present.
