- 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; it can be specified multiple times. Total size limit: 25MB.
- With --html, use fragment tags (, , , , etc.) — no / wrapper needed.
- Use --draft to save the message as a draft instead of sending it immediately.
[!CAUTION] This is a write command — confirm with the user before executing.
