====== MessageMerger ======

The **MessageMerger** job step bundles the contents (attachments) of messages according to certain criteria. Currently, only messages with the same recipient and the same subject can be bundled.\\ 
If **n** messages are bundled, you get **1** message with the (**n**) attachments of all bundled messages and **n-1** empty messages without attachments.\  
Messages that are not affected by bundling pass through the job unchanged.
