Examples
gws gmail +send --to alice@example.com --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi Alice!'
gws gmail +send --to alice@example.com --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi!' --cc bob@example.com
gws gmail +send --to alice@example.com --subject 'Hello' --body '<b>Bold</b> text' --html
gws gmail +send --to alice@example.com --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi!' --from alias@example.com
gws gmail +send --to alice@example.com --subject 'Report' --body 'See attached' -a report.pdf
gws gmail +send --to alice@example.com --subject 'Files' --body 'Two files' -a a.pdf -a b.csv
gws gmail +send --to alice@example.com --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi!' --draftTips
- Handles RFC 5322 formatting, MIME encoding, and base64 automatically.
- Use --from to send from a configured send-as alias instead of your primary address.
- Use -a/--attach to add file attachments. Can be specified multiple times. Total size limit: 25MB.
- With --html, use fragment tags (<p>, <b>, <a>, <br>, etc.) — no <html>/<body> wrapper needed.
- Use --draft to save the message as a draft instead of sending it immediately.
[!CAUTION] This is a write command — confirm with the user before executing.
