    (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map "b"
      (lambda (&optional address)
        "Bounce the current message."
        (interactive "sBounce To: ")
        (notmuch-show-view-raw-message)
        (message-resend address)))

This really should be part of notmuch-emacs, but as I recall it we just
never came to a conclusion whether this does the right thing or not.
