Tips

• Handles RFC 5322 formatting, MIME encoding, and base64 automatically.
• Use --from to send from a configured send-as alias instead of your primary address.
• Use -a/--attach to add file attachments. Can be specified multiple times. Total size limit: 25MB.
• With --html, use fragment tags (

  , , ,
  , etc.) — no / wrapper needed.

[!CAUTION] This is a write command — confirm with the user before executing.
