I do not really understand what you are saying here. My issue is that
the "reply" or "forward" marks are hidden by the cache mark when the
message is indeed cached. Removing the secondary mark would remove all
of them. What I want is to distinguish the cache mark from others.

I did not see this. But it would not be useful to solve my problem : %R
gathers many marks, including the cache mark which takes precedence when
article is cached.
