Is it possible to reply to multiple messages at once?

Question

So I have about 4 accounts it checks, but as a rule, one of my business ones usually has about 20 any given time that could all be answered with the same reply. Is there a way I can select all these, and mail a mass reply from one account?

Alternatively, paste this script into a new Script Editor window and read the introductory comment.
