Hmm... looks like a problem with ConfigParser. Maybe the default values
aren't working well?

Try setting up a ~/.notmuchprintrc:

notmuch_command: "/usr/local/bin/notmuch"
browser_command: "/usr/bin/firefox"
plain_text_font: "sans-serif"
always_prefer_plaintext: no
view_in_browser: yes

If that works, I need to futz with its defaults a bit. (Also, I just
noticed that I named a config boolean with the same name as a function:
view_in_browser. That shouldn't be the problem here, but I should fix it
all the same.)

Best,
Jesse
