Bug#704648: notmuch-emacs: M-x notmuch-show-reply on an encrypted message should insert encryption tags into the mml buffer

Package: notmuch-emacs
Version: 0.15.2-1
Severity: normal

When i'm viewing an encrypted message in notmuch-emacs, and i hit R
(or M-x notmuch-show-reply), it drops me into an mml compose buffer
with the decrypted message body properly quoted and attributed.

If I go ahead and send that reply, the previously-encrypted message
content goes out in the clear.  This is a faux pas.

Notmuch should insert the appropriate MML encryption tag into the
reply buffer by default if the message being replied to has the
"encrypted" tag:

 <#secure method=pgpmime mode=encrypt>

(it should probably be a different tag if the incoming message used
S/MIME instead of PGP/MIME, though i don't think we handle S/MIME yet,
so maybe we can leave that distinction to later)
