Oh thank you all guys for your answers. Let me practice what i
learnt then... this kinda seems the appropriate use case too :)

It is pretty rare, but when I need to do it I tag all the source messages

Cameron, you meant, hit 'g' always prepended by ';', didn't you?
Yes. I run with "set auto_tag=yes", so i forget this. auto_tag runs commands
against tagged messages if there are any, or the current message if not.
I
spent lots of time trying out, because i didn't know about the
existence of the ';' function, which i discoverd from a subsequent
mail. So simply hitting 'g' was not working. But it's not your fault,
i thought if there were tagged entries, the action would automatically
refer to all of them, but actually you have to explicitly tell mutt
you want to operate on all the tagged entries with ';'. You obviously
were silently implying it ;)
No, I was forgetting. My apologies. With "auto_tag=yes" mutt behaves roughly as
you imagined before.
Anyways here i preferred using 'L' to answer, rather than 'g'.
Fair enough. Whatever produces the most appropriate result for you. I often
deal with ah doc discussions made simply of several people rather than a
mailing list, so "L" isn't what I naturally reach for.
