Sorry for coming late to the party.  I really like this idea, but it
seems like your implementation is duplicating a lot of the work of
notmuch show.  This makes me wonder if it would be better to return
reply header information in the JSON (which is definitely the way to
go) but to fetch the part body from the UI via show (and maybe reuse
some of the show-mode logic, if it makes sense to do so).  If this has
already been discussed, just point me at the thread and I'll catch
myself up.
