Can you really have multiple addresses on the "From:" line according the
RFC-<mumble, mumble>?

Sounds good to me.

References: Concatenate the References header from all articles
Subject: Use the Subject from the first article marked, prepended with "Re: "
	if necessary, of course.
In-Reply-To: Concatenate them all using the format
	"<messageID@hostname> (e-mail@address)", assuming it's OK with the
	relevant RFCs, of course.
