[PATCH v2] Add functions notmuch-show-get-(bcc, cc, date, from, subject, to).

[PATCH v2] Add functions notmuch-show-get-(bcc, cc, date, from, subject, to).

[david]

From: David Bremner <bremner@unb.ca>

Return the corresponding header field for the current message as a
string.  These are thin wrappers around notmuch-show-get-header, which
means they each cause a full parse of the RFC822 header. The main idea
is to fix an api.

OK. You at least acknowledge the only misgiving I had about this
patch. (And frankly, my own emacs lisp code probably has much worse
performance bugs.) So I'm not going to worry about that for now.

I fixed the obviously copied documentation strings above, deleted the
trailing whitespace, and applied this patch.

Thanks!
