Dang...  awesome answer!!

Details for anyone else interested:

More Actions (access via Window Menu button on titlebar)[1]
  -> Special Application Settings
     -> Arrangement & Access
enable: Autogroup with identical + Force + No

Initially, it appeared to operate on the initial message-specific Reply;
but it's OK now...  for a few moments, I thought I'd still need to attack
the window "Role" CM{mainwindow,compose} to unique-ify the "compose" role.

Global window grouping with specific exclusions....  WOW!!! :) :)

You da man!!!   THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1] In my case, right-click is set to send window to the back; but there
is a Window Menu at top-left in Oxygen (default) theme.
