Jamie's defcustom doesn't work for me either (apparently it works even
less for me than it does for Jamie), but the following works for me

(defcustom notmuch-show-part-button-default-action 'notmuch-show-part-button-save
  "Default part header button action (on ENTER or mouse click)."
  :group 'notmuch
  :type '(choice (const :tag "Save part"
                        notmuch-show-part-button-save)
                 (const :tag "View part"
                        notmuch-show-part-button-view)
                 (const :tag "View interactively"
                        notmuch-show-part-button-interactively-view)))
