This should be exactly what happens when you mark a number of
articles and press `r'.

What Andy is describing is marking several articles, then doing a
Reply with Original on all of them.  The net effect is to have one
cited article containing the contents of all the marked articles.
This isn't a good feature, it's a great feature (assuming you trim all
the attributions appropriately).

It does look buggy, but it's probably only a line or two of fixes away
from actually working, (with the new To:/Cc: collection code being put
into 0.15).

Problems I observed:
* Super Cite prompts end up displayed in the minibuffer with the
buffer changed elsewhere.
* The To: line should reflect all of the articles being collected,
(instead of just the first marked article).  Assuming this can be
fixed, `r' should then work as Andy suggests.

Documenting it requires adding somewhere that R and r respect the
prefix/process conventions.
