Summarise a Long Email Thread Before a Standup

The thread has forty replies, three reply-alls, and a subject line that stopped matching the content twenty messages ago, and standup starts in five minutes. This pulls out what was actually decided, what is still open, and who owes what, so you walk in caught up instead of scrolling under the table.
