Usage

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

gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi Alice!'
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi!' --cc [email protected]
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Hello' --body '<b>Bold</b> text' --html
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Hello' --body 'Hi!' --from [email protected]
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Report' --body 'See attached' -a report.pdf
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Files' --body 'Two files' -a a.pdf -a b.csv
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --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.
