I tested this (before and after applying the patch), using notmuch
remotely and viewing id:87ppu0t7yf.fsf at qmul.ac.uk .
Before applying emacs promted me an output file, after applying xdg-open
was executed - which executed evince to show the pdf document in that email.

If this restores the behaviour that was experienced with notmuch 0.15(.2)
then this imho is a good fix to be applied quickly before 0.16 is released...
