This is being discussed here for Riot:
vector-im/riot-web#4406
The only blocker at the moment for Riot is that synapse only ever let's the "unread" pointer move forward.
This needs an MSC so that it's in the spec and not specific to riot/synapse.
Slack, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, Linked In, Signal, and pretty much every other email/chat client I know, have Mark as Unread, and some of them (like Skype and Slack) allow to choose which message to move the unread pointer to.
This issue has been migrated from #5601.
