# amt - accumulate mail trailers

`amt` is a helper for accumulating git trailers from email threads.

## Workflow

It can be used to accumulate git-trailers on a per-patch basis. The suggested
workflow is:

* Save all mails of a mail thread into a new maildir.
* Run `amt /path/to/maildir "<message.id.of.toplevel@mail>"`
* `amt` outputs each mail subject with all trailers in the following format:
  '{mail subject, prefix stripped} - {trailer}'.
  For example:

    Fix Typo - Suggested-by: Heinz Dieter <heinz@dieter.mail>
    Fix Typo - Signed-off-by: Main Tainer <main@tainer.bdfl>
    Implement feature - Reviewed-By: R. Viewer <re@view.er>
    Implement feature - Suggested-By: R. Viewer <re@view.er>
    Implement feature - Signed-off-by: Main Tainer <main@tainer.bdlf>


## Dependencies

`amt` uses `git-interpret-trailers` for interpreting trailers. It expects it
to be in `$PATH`.

Dependencies are therefor rust and cargo for building and git for runtime.
