Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm new to this stuff....
Why would this be of such benefit? IMHO the message should be short
enough, and there would be enough benefit to being able to put unique
content in each, that it would not be worthwhile to combine them. Do
you have some scenario in mind, under which there might be multiple
challenges issued to the same destination?
1. Two major ISPs, both operating C/R systems. They might want to combine
multiple C/R challenges together to save on bandwidth.
2. Messages addresses to multiple users at the same ISP. It is easier to
deal with one message then many. This would be good for mailing lists,
where in case of AOL, instead of thousands of challenges, only one will be
sent.
