For that matter, how many permit a user to select multiple
messages to compose a response citing all of the selected
messages (including appropriate setting of In-Reply-To and
References fields)?

Hopefully few, as there *is no* appropriate setting for those fields in  
that situation.

In any case, the result is confusing and frustrating for the human readers  
of those messages.

It's simply a bad idea.
