I guess the first step is to test on the command line with

% notmuch reply --format=json id:foo

and

% notmuch reply --format=sexp id:foo

where id:foo is some message-id in your notmuch database.

In both cases you'll get a kind of data structure that you can process
how you like, but I think the strings inside are pretty much the same.

If you're trying to modify elisp, the actual function is
notmuch-mua-reply

I'm afraid I don't have any specific advice about sending HTML.
