Email Formatting
-
Prefer plain text. Use
--body-filefor multi-paragraph messages (or--body-file -for stdin). -
Same
--body-filepattern works for drafts and replies. -
--bodydoes not unescape\n. If you need inline newlines, use a heredoc or$'Line 1\n\nLine 2'. -
Use
--body-htmlonly when you need rich formatting. -
HTML tags:
<p>for paragraphs,<br>for line breaks,<strong>for bold,<em>for italic,<a href="url">for links,<ul>/<li>for lists. -
Example (plain text via stdin):
gog gmail send --to [email protected] \ --subject "Meeting Follow-up" \ --body-file - <<'EOF' Hi Name, Thanks for meeting today. Next steps: - Item one - Item two Best regards, Your Name EOF -
Example (HTML list):
gog gmail send --to [email protected] \ --subject "Meeting Follow-up" \ --body-html "<p>Hi Name,</p><p>Thanks for meeting today. Here are the next steps:</p><ul><li>Item one</li><li>Item two</li></ul><p>Best regards,<br>Your Name</p>"
Notes
- Set
[email protected]to avoid repeating--account. - For scripting, prefer
--jsonplus--no-input. - Sheets values can be passed via
--values-json(recommended) or as inline rows. - Docs supports export/cat/copy. In-place edits require a Docs API client (not in gog).
- Confirm before sending mail or creating events.
gog gmail searchreturns one row per thread; usegog gmail messages searchwhen you need every individual email returned separately.
