Well, the fact that I mainly cared about message forwarding and not the
reply functions is turning out to show rather badly...  There appear to
be a number of problems with the reply functions starting with the fact
that I kill the buffer that has the original message contents in it as
soon as the reply buffer is constructed, which message doesn't really
like.  I can think of some ways around the problems but I'm getting the
sense that enhancing the notmuch C program's ability to generate
different styles of replies would be preferred to what I have done.

Forwarding works fine though... :-)

My main criteria in selecting key bindings was that they not conflict
with current ones.  If this were to become the preferred way to do this
I'd be happy to change them to whatever consensus emerges.
