Currently emacs doesn't know that the text/plain part has the
format=flowed attribute, so it can't do anything about it.

Two options occur to me:
- ensure that emacs knows the attributes of the part so that it could be
  extended to do something useful,
- have notmuch remove newlines as appropriate from the part so that
  the long line wrapping done by `notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines' takes
  effect.

Does anyone have suggestions as to which might be a better approach?
