gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --cc eve@example.com
gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --body '<p>FYI</p>' --html

Tips

  • Includes the original message with sender, date, subject, and recipients.
  • Use -a/--attach to add file attachments. Can be specified multiple times.
  • With --html, the forwarded block uses Gmail's gmail_quote CSS classes and preserves HTML formatting. Use fragment tags (<p>, <b>, <a>, etc.) — no <html>/<body> wrapper needed.
  • With --html, inline images in the forwarded message (cid: references) will appear broken. Externally hosted images are unaffected.
