So Ideally I would have 'Reply-to' header set to the original sender and
added 'Cc' like the original email. However, AFAICT the JSON does not
contain this information, and while I could use the mdir object to find
the original message in my Inbox, this is incredibly slow.
I have a TODO to use python-notmuch to do this, but haven't gotten
around to doing this yet.
With that 'fixed' I could actually reply to these messages and it would
all 'just' work. For now I copy/paste when needed.
