This has also been an irritation of mine. I think I will take your
second idea (include the email on export) and see if I can come-up with
a patch for org-notmuch. Since I'm still a newbie elisp programmer,
this might take a while. :-p

Actually what you see is supposed to be easily parsed. From the
notmuch-show man page:
--format=(text|json|sexp|mbox|raw)
text (default for messages)
The default plain-text format has all text-content MIME parts
decoded. Various components in the output, (message, header,
body, attachment, and MIME part), will be delimited by
easily-parsed markers. Each marker consists of a Control-L
character (ASCII decimal 12), the name of the marker, and then
either an opening or closing brace, ('{' or '}'), to either open
or close the component. For a multipart MIME message, these parts
will be nested.
I'm assuming what you presently see is in text format (default). Since
you are not happy with this, I would suggest you try the mbox format.
[...]
mbox
All matching messages are output in the traditional, Unix mbox
format with each message being prefixed by a line beginning with
"From " and a blank line separating each message. Lines in the
message content beginning with "From " (preceded by zero or more
'>' characters) have an additional '>' character added. This
reversible escaping is termed "mboxrd" format and described in
detail here:

A quick question though, how do you plan on handling attachments, I
presume you want to strip them? In that case you will have to parse the
output anyway.
Hope this helps,
