[PATCH 0/2] emacs: add postpone support

This series adds postpone support to the emacs frontend. It is similar
to the series at
id:1465001026-29392-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009 at gmail.com
but is based on top of the insert/fcc support (now in master).

The first patch is trivial -- it just frees up the e keybinding for
"edit" (ie resume) from tree-mode.

The second patch add the postpone/resume support. It is a large patch,
but I don't see an obvious way to break it up.

Things to note:

Draft messages will be stored in the mail store unencrypted, regardless
of the signing/encryption tags in the message.

There is a custom variable notmuch-message-quoted-tags (which should
always include "secure" unless you really know what you are doing). If
you set it to '("secure" "part") then attachments won't be saved with
the draft, and will be inserted when the message is sent.  This may be
desired in some cases, but may break cases when there are "transient"
attachments, for example when postponing rfc822 forwarded messages

Once a message is resumed, the original is tagged deleted. This means
it doesn't show up in searches, unless you explicitly add tag:deleted
to the search.

You might want to add draft to the list of excluded in the notmuch
config file, so that draft messages only show up when explicitly
searched for.

Best wishes

Mark
