So, I expect the above command should give you six emails:

  [PATCH 0/5] Recent Base Prototype Changes Summary
    [PATCH 1/5]
    [PATCH 2/5]
    [PATCH 3/5]
    [PATCH 4/5]
    [PATCH 5/5]

Is that not what you're seeing?

You're quoting the manpage for --in-reply-to option below, but you're not using that option.

I'm not sure... I suspect you're either not using --in-reply-to= or misreading the manpage, somehow.
