I might be interested in this patch (whether or not it gets applied), but this seems like it could get messy fast. What does it look like if you reply to 4 messages, where: - The first message is the original post - The second is a reply to the first - the third is a reply to both the first and the second - the fourth is a reply to only the first Can you show an example with that structure?

I actually reply to multiple messages very frequently. Not so much on this list (though, sometimes), but more often on work-related mailing lists and certain other Linux-related mailing lists. I'm inclined to think that they tend to happen infrequently because a) people don't realize the feature exists, and/or b) they are lazy about trimming replies anyway, so (as happens at work a lot) they just include the entire thread in every reply.
