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 (

, , , etc.) — no / 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 --- Skills Agentes — https://skillsagentes.com/skills/googleworkspace/cli/gws-gmail-forward
