Re: [PATCH] emacs: show: lazy part handling bugfix

[Austin Clements <amdragon@MIT.EDU>]

Nice sleuthing!  LGTM.

One question, though.  `notmuch-show-insert-bodypart' calls
`notmuch-show-toggle-part-invisibility' with point at the end of the
buffer and not on the button.  Without this patch, properties will be
nil as a result, but with this patch, they may not be.  This still
seems strictly more correct, but do you know why this is okay?  Are
the properties nil at this point regardless because the button is all
in an overlay and we don't apply the :notmuch-part text property until
after this call to `notmuch-show-toggle-part-invisibility'?
