forwarding multiple messages from notmuch emacs

[Jeremy Nickurak]

Sigh. Premature posting...

Adam Wolfe Gordon on here gave me a tip for this. It's not perfect, but it
works:

Start forwarding each of the emails, and just cut-and-paste the
<#mml>..</#mml> sections out of the buffers into a new email. That'll have
the effect of forwarding all the emails.
