Is there a conclusion on this change? The patch itself seems obviously
fine from a code perspective, at issue is more whether it's acceptable
to change the key binding.

The equivalent binding in notmuch-show mode is already "l", and I think
that it makes sense to be consistent (i.e. the change should be
applied).
