Nice one!

Signed-off-by: Pieter Praet <pieter@praet.org>  ;)


This has also exposed a pre-existing bug: When the last visible message
is longer than a screenful and contains a *hidden* signature, you'll
never get to see the end of it.

The culprit is presumably seeking shelter from the flyswatter @
`notmuch-show-message-extent' or one of its relatives: Cc'ing our
resident invisibility guru.
