Tips

• Replies to the sender and all original To/CC recipients.
• Use --to to add extra recipients to the To field.
• Use --cc to add new CC recipients.
• Use --bcc for recipients who should not be visible to others.
• Use --remove to exclude recipients from the outgoing reply, including the sender or Reply-To target.
• The command fails if no To recipient remains after exclusions and --to additions.
• Use -a/--attach to add file attachments. Can be specified multiple times.
• With --html, the quoted block uses Gmail's gmail_quote CSS classes and preserves HTML formatting. Use fragment tags (, , , etc.) — no / wrapper needed.
• With --html, inline images in the quoted message are preserved via cid: references.
• Use --draft to save the reply as a draft instead of sending it immediately.
