# gmail +forward > **PREREQUISITE:** Read `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it. Forward a message to new recipients ## Usage ```bash gws 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 ```bash gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com gws 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.com gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --body '<p>FYI</p>' --html gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com -a notes.pdf gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to dave@example.com --no-original-attachments gws 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
