If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it. Forward a message to new recipients ## Usage ```bashgws gmail +forward --message-id <ID> --to <EMAILS>``` ## Flags | Flag | Required | Default | Description ||------|----------|---------|-------------|| `--message-id` | ✓ | — | Gmail message ID to forward || `--to` | ✓ | — | Recipient email address(es), comma-separated || `--from` | — | — | Sender address (for send-as/alias; omit to use account default) || `--body` | — | — | Optional note to include above the forwarded message (plain text, or HTML with --html) || `--no-original-attachments` | — | — | Do not include file attachments from the original message (inline images in --html mode are preserved) || `--attach` | — | — | Attach a file (can be specified multiple times) || `--cc` | — | — | CC email address(es), comma-separated || `--bcc` | — | — | BCC email address(es), comma-separated || `--html` | — | — | Treat --body as HTML content (default is plain text) || `--dry-run` | — | — | Show the request that would be sent without executing it || `--draft` | — | — | Save as draft instead of sending | ## Examples ```bashgws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.comgws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --body 'FYI see below'gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --cc eve@example.comgws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --body '<p>FYI</p>' --htmlgws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com -a notes.pdfgws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --no-original-attachmentsgws 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 (<p>, <b>, <a>, etc.) — no <html>/<body> wrapper needed.- Use --draft to save the forward as a draft instead of sending it immediately. ## See Also - [gws-shared](../gws-shared/SKILL.md) — Global flags and auth- [gws-gmail](../gws-gmail/SKILL.md) — All send, read, and manage email commands
