[notmuch] [PATCH] notmuch-reply: Use a shorter 'On, X Y wrote:' line

Previously, we would output:
'On Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:32:54 +0100, Sebastian Spaeth <Sebastian at SSpaeth.de> wrote:' now it is:
'On 2010-02-25, Sebastian Spaeth wrote:'

In case we don't find a '<' (as indicator for 'Realname <email>'), we still use the whole from address.

This probably shows my lack of C skills quite nicely but it does the job for me.
