I mentioned oe only because I have had no experience with 'conversations'
grouping with any other e-mails (my oe real conversation e-mails do not
'group'.)

Seems that even if the spams are grouped as a conversation, one could
'reply' to one of the members of the group (a single spam) without involving
any of the other members of the group - therefore one should be able to
process one spam then process another single spam - etc.

Too bad the spam has to be opened to "do" anything with it.
