[notmuch] [PATCH 2/2] Add functions notmuch-show-get-(bcc, cc, date, from, subject, to) to return the corresponding header field for the current message as a string. These are thin wrappers around notmuch-show-get-header, which means they each cause a full parse of the RFC822 header. The main idea is to fix an api.
