To make replying to email easier, <b>notmuch</b> <b>reply</b> takes an existing set
of messages and constructs a suitable mail template. The Reply-to:
header (if any, otherwise From:) is used for the To: address. Unless

copied, but not including any of the current user's email addresses (as
configured in primary_mail or other_email in the .notmuch-config file)
in the recipient list.
The resulting message template is output to stdout.
