Thanks for the suggestion!  I wasn't aware of this variable and I think
this does exactly what I intend to do.

One slight inconvenience is that the settings are used to set the header
during `message-send', which means you may not see the header being set
when you are editing the mail.  So if there is an error in your setting
you may not notice it until it is sent, which could be a bit late.  I
wish there is something that can be used to do this in
`message-mode-hook', but I guess I can settle for this for now.

Again, thanks for the tip and the work on notmuch!
