If notmuch-show.el is newer than notmuch it will never see the “format”
parameter and so will not attempt to fill the flowed text. This is the
same as the current behaviour.

If notmuch is newer than notmuch-show.el it will include the “format”
parameter but the notmuch-show.el will not look for it. This is the same
as the current behaviour.

I think that it's safe in all cases.
