I like both these suggestions.  This would bring the notmuch behavior
in line with gmail, which is what I tend to expect.

Mark Walters brings up a good point, that there is a question of what
to do when the user tries to reply to their own email.  When I do
this, what I intend is to send another email to the last person I
emailed in the thread, so I think the suggested heuristic of looking
at other headers would work.  But, maybe others have a different
expectation in this case?
