Notmuch uses a mix of 8 char width tabs and spaces. First go tabs, then,
if you need indenting with more precision, spaces. Look at the lines
your patch removes for an example.
Also, .dir-locals.el sets some variables to configure Emacs for Notmuch
coding style but only for c-mode. You may set it by hand for lisp.

Dmitry
