Small side note: always "Reply All" so that messages go to the list.

You'd probably have to ask Robert when these features might show up in
bzr. I think he's actually worked on it a little bit, but I don't think
it has all been fully fleshed out. (The interface, the internal details,
etc).

I'm probably guessing that it is pretty high on the priority list, and
will show up after 0.8 is released.
