Hello, To answer multiple mails at once tag them (t for a single mail) and then use ;r to reply to all of them (this will quote all of them in $EDITOR). However in the thread view the resulting mail will only appear as reply to one of those mails (not sure if this is a limitation of mutt or the in-reply-to header). This fact makes it less useful for mailing lists, as you most likely want to retain the thread hierarchy for all replies. Personally I don't use this feature on mailing lists but only for personal mails where the recipient can deal with one reply to multiple mails.
