OK, with that setting I can duplicate the problem replying to encrypted
HTML mail.

It's also true that notmuch-reply doesn't include the content in the
html version of the multipart/alternative. Unlike notmuch show, it
doesn't have the ability to send parts later, so I guess that's a
problem there.

The following patch seems to fix it for me. What I haven't worked out is
if it will break other things. Perhaps David E or Mark (in copy) can
comment on whether this is a sensible change, given that we now give the
user control of showing the part on the emacs side.
