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 (

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

  • With --html, inline images in the forwarded message (cid: references) will appear broken. Externally hosted images are unaffected.
