I have come across the following situation quite often while using VM in
particular.  This problem is not specific to VM, but is present in all the
mailers I have ever used.

	1. I send a mail to an in-house alias and get some responses from
	   the members of the alias.

	2. I go ahead and reply to each one of them seperately with the same
	   response to their replies.  I specifically don't want to reply to
	   the alias for the reason of curtailing traffic in the alias.

This tedious/monotonous work could have been simplified if the mailer provided
a feature by which I could group a set of messages (like marking them) and
responding to all of them in one shot.  I request the author of VM to consider
this request and incorporate it into the next release of VM (I am presently
using 4.37 version).

I have a feeling that there are a lot of people with the same kind of need.
Thanks for your patience/time.
