My gut reaction is that doing more formatting in notmuch reply is
probably a mistake; it's hard enough to get two users to agree on these
kind of customizations, never mind two different MUAs. Probably what we
need to do is make sure the structured (json/s-expr) output has enough
information for clients to do what they need/want to do.
