Usage

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

Flags

FlagRequiredDefaultDescription
--to✓—Recipient email address(es), comma-separated
--subject✓—Email subject
--body✓—Email body, used verbatim (plain text, or HTML with --html). \n is NOT a newline — use $'...' or a real line break
--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
# Multi-line body — $'...' quoting turns \n into a real newline:
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Update' --body $'Hi Alice,\n\nShipped today.\n\nBlake'
# Long body — read it from a file instead of quoting inline:
gws gmail +send --to [email protected] --subject 'Update' --body "$(cat body.txt)"

Tips

  • IMPORTANT: --body is verbatim. Writing --body "Hi,\n\nThanks" sends a literal backslash-n to the recipient; it does NOT create a line break. Use $'Hi,\n\nThanks' or "$(cat file.txt)". See gws-shared Shell 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 (

    , , ,
    , etc.) — no / 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.
