I would prefer that the 4 seperate replies be made instead.  Here is
why:  the threading logic of better mail readers will associate each
reply with the message it is the reply to.  If you bunch them all
together, then you loose this nice feature.  BTW the archiver uses
this kind of threading logic too.
