I don't know what g_mime_message_get_message_id will return if there is
no message-id, but that case can and does arise. Notmuch constructs a
message-id by sha1 hashing the message. That message-id is in the
database, so I think you should probably print out the message-id from
the database.

I think this deserves a comment to explain briefly why it works.

I would prefer the
cat <<EOF > EXPECTED
...
EOF

style here rather then the multiline strings, finishing with
"test_expect_equal_file EXPECTED OUTPUT".
