Send an email

## Usage

```bash gws gmail +send --to <EMAILS> --subject <SUBJECT> --body <TEXT> ```

## Flags

| Flag | Required | Default | Description | |------|----------|---------|-------------| | `--to` | ✓ | — | Recipient email address(es), comma-separated | | `--subject` | ✓ | — | Email subject | | `--body` | ✓ | — | Email body (plain text, or HTML with --html) | | `--from` | — | — | Sender address (for send-as/alias; omit to use account default) | | `--attach` | — | — | Attach a file (can be specified multiple times) | | `--cc` | — | — | CC email address(es), comma-separated | | `--bcc` | — | — | BCC email address(es), comma-separated | | `--html` | — | — | Treat --body as HTML content (default is plain text) | | `--dry-run` | — | — | Show the request that would be sent without executing it | | `--draft` | — | — | Save as draft instead of sending |

## Examples

```bash 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!' --draft ```

## Tips

- 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.
