[PATCH 2/2] guess From address from Received headers

When replying to a message notmuch tries to pick the correct From
address by looking which one of a user's configured email addresses
were included in To or Cc headers of the email that is being replied to.
If none of the users email addresses are in the To or Cc headers we now
try to guess from the first (chronologically, last) Received header
which domain this email was received in and therefore which of the
email addresses to use in a reply
If that fails we still use the primary email as From email
