Chuck is right on the money here - redirecting multiple messages as one message doesn't make sense.

Yes, both together do, thanks. Just as an FYI, I don't think that sending them all together makes any sense - "redirected" messages are sort of by definition not modified, and to put them all together, you'd have to modify them. So you'd want people to use Forward for that.
1) User selects multiple messages
2) User clicks Redirect
3) User is prompted for the address(es) to redirect to. While for our needs only a single address is needed, why limit others to our constraints?
4) User is asked to confirm if they want to redirect X messages to [list address(es)
5) All selected messages are redirected to the destination address(es), as individual messages.
I don't see a need to preview the messages.
I think they would want all the mail selected for redirect to go to one address. I assume you would just go into your inbox go down the list and choose the messages and click on redirect and send it off to the new address. I also think the user is going to want a choice of either sending them all as one message or individual messages. Does that help?State ⇒ Feedback
Any suggestions from your helpdesk on how this should work? One redirect window, one set of addresses for all of the messages? Or individual address entry for each message? Should each message be shown, or just their subjects, or ?
The more you can spell out a feature request, the easier it is for someone to just go and implement.

Our helpdesk has requested the addition of the "Redirect" action to mailbox.php's actionbar ( templates/mailbox/actions.inc ), so people can select multiple messages in their mailboxes and redirect them all at once.
