Hey notmuch folks--

I use notmuch-emacs, and i occasionally have to recover from a system
crash, session crash, or battery failure.

Often, i have multiple draft messages in composition at any one time.

My best understanding of the process for recovering from such a crash
requires me to manually dig out files matching some kind of pattern like
~/Mail/drafts/*message*-$TS (where $TS is roughly an ISO-8601
timestmamp).  Then, for each draft that i think is likely to be
relevant, i need to convert it into a notmuch composition buffer
(related to Message mode, as i understand it).

I'd love to be able to just run a single command like (imagined)

   M-x notmuch-recover-drafts-into-buffers

and get back to where i was during message composition.  Does something
like that exist already?  If not, is there something close i should look
at instead?
