I did not review the code, but here is a general comment for both patches (but especially for the first one). It would be nice to have a more detailed documentation for hooks. Docstring like "Enable Visual Line mode." for a function named `notmuch-show-turn-on-visual-line-mode' is near useless. It is quite obvious that the function enables visual-line-mode from it's name. And it does not give any information on why would someone actually want to use it. I do not remember what visual-line-mode is exactly, so to understand whether this hook is actually useful for me, I have to read visual-line-mode docs, think about how it helps in notmuch-show, read some code, perhaps, etc. I would argue that since the hook itself is trivial, the main point in having it is to provide a clearly documented solution for a common problem for those who do not know how to solve this problem right away. Currently, those who know what visual-line-mode is do not need this hook, because they can easily write their own, and those who do not know what visual-line-mode is can not use this hook, because it says nothing about why it is actually useful. Also, in addition to better docs, I would rename `notmuch-show-turn-on-visual-line-mode' to something that reflects what it does from user POV (like the other two hooks). Though, the fact that the hook is enabled by default makes the above arguments less important, I guess.
