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.

[!CAUTION] This is a write command — confirm with the user before executing.
