This seems like a useful feature, but perhaps it's a little too general?

I'm imagining a user wanting to use this functionality but not knowing
anything about writing an emacs-lisp function. For such a user, this
variable won't provide much of a feature.

I think that might be an argument for dropping this variable from the
notmuch customization group. That customization page is starting to get
crowded, and if there are things there that can't be easily manipulated
with the available controls, I think they're mostly just clutter.

Perhaps this could be addressed by allowing this variable to be an alist
instead of (or in addition to) a function. What do you think?
