| --body | — | — | Optional note to include above the forwarded message (plain text, or HTML with --html) |

Examples
gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to [email protected]
gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to [email protected] --body 'FYI see below'
gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to [email protected] --cc [email protected]
gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to [email protected] --body '<p>FYI</p>' --html
gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to [email protected] -a notes.pdf
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.
