this probably needs to be done (or at least set up) before the reply
composition buffer is generated, since access to tag data is not easy in
the composition buffer.

I use message-templ for this

Unfortunately it's not very widely available in package repos (melpa and
friends). It is in debian testing/unstable as elpa-message-templ.

I don't remember the details, but I doubt it still applies / works at
this point. There have been many changes to the way reply works in
notmuch-emacs.
