You are correct David. Each time a message is opened it is counted as a view. Therefore, if you read all the replies and then go back to the first one to reply, you have registered one view for each message and then a second to the original when you opened it again to reply.
It is very common for the earlier messages to indicate more views than the replies because each person that replies would likely have done the same thing.
Best,
