I wish we could make it useful again. It was one of the neat features of
notmuch to be able to reply to multiple messages at once. Either all
messages in a thread from search view, or all expanded messages in a
thread from show view. We threw this out to make it easier to improve
the normal reply code.

As to whether it was a common pattern or not, I don't recall a single
complaint after the feature was dropped.

BR,
