Flag Required Default Description
--message-id Gmail message ID to forward

gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --body '<p>FYI</p>' --html
gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com -a notes.pdf
gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --no-original-attachments
gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --draft

Tips

  • Includes the original message with sender, date, subject, and recipients.
  • Original attachments are included by default (matching Gmail web behavior).
  • With --html, inline images are also preserved via cid: references.
  • In plain-text mode, inline images are not included (matching Gmail web).
  • Use --no-original-attachments to forward without the original message's files.
  • Use -a/--attach to add extra file attachments. Can be specified multiple times.
  • Combined size of original and user attachments is limited to 25MB.
  • With --html, the forwarded block uses Gmail's gmail_quote CSS classes and preserves HTML formatting. Use fragment tags (

    , , , etc.) — no <html>/ wrapper needed.

  • Use --draft to save the forward as a draft instead of sending it immediately.
