I wanted to know about the plural of "Ms.", which is "Mses." or "Mss."
How do we pronounce the plural ?

I'd say it as 'mizzizz', again like the last part of 'fizz'.

Hi,

Are you saying that "mss" or "mses" cannot be used like "messrs" as salutation for multiple recipients?

I'm saying that I wouldn't, and I've never seen it done. You can, of course, do what you wish.
