[notmuch] wish: more informative citations

Wouldn't it be nice if citations showed the first line or so of the text
being cited?

Would be displayed as something like:

Actually I'm not too sure about the format, but I thought I'd through
that out there.

Happy hacking,

That's a fine idea. Along with this would be getting rid of the
stupidity of displaying [1 line citation] rather than just displaying
the citation itself!

And I really want my keybinding for displaying all the citations in the
current message. And code to recognize top-posted copies as citations
and hiding that. And, and...

...and more time to do all this stuff. I've got an ever-growing TODO
list and a backlog of patches to be reviewed that goes back several
weeks now. I'm hoping that I'll be able to sneak some time over the
upcoming holidays...

  In case of a citation following immediately new contents. When the citation
  was collapsed:
  
  [1-line citation. Click/Enter to show.]
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicin

Would be displayed as something like:

 In case of a citation following [ Click/Enter to show 3 more lines ]
