Mark all RSS articles as 'read' in Safari 4 Beta

When I installed Safari 4 Beta, I started to play around RSS feeds for the first time. But there was one thing that made me crazy: I couldn't figure out how to mark all new articles as being "read." This is a problem if an RSS feed shows something like "38 new articles" and you just want to catch up in a hurry.

One day, when I hit the reload button, I found out that all articles were read after that. Tried it out on many RSS feeds in Safari 4 and it worked for all of them.

[robg adds: This also works in Safari 3, as was mentioned here briefly in the comments to this hint. Note that you'll probably also want to visit the RSS tab in Safari's Preferences and enable the "Highlight unread articles" option to more easily see which articles have not been read.]
