```
|
|
|
|
## 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 (<p>, <b>, <a>, etc.) — no <html>/<body> wrapper needed.
|
|
- Use --draft to save the forward as a draft instead of sending it immediately.
