The patch depends on some set of the other reply fixes (*), so I applied
this on top of them. All tests pass with emacs 23.2.

Unfortunately, the emacs UI fails with "Symbol's function definition is
void: remove-if" when trying to reply. After a manual (require 'cl) the
UI seems to otherwise work as expected. This is probably unrelated to
this particular patch, but why is it a (eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
and not (require 'cl) in notmuch-mua.el?


BR,
Jani.
