# nitidus

A small TUI email client written in Rust.

## Why the name?

This app is a front end to the CLI mail client [Himalaya], and is based on a Rust TUI crate named
[Ratatui]. *Rattus Nitidus* is the scientific name for the [Himalayan field rat].

## Running

This is pretty much just a PoC right now, so install himalaya, run it once to generate a config and
then run this. Check the command line params with `--help`
