Can be specified multiple times.62- Combined size of original and user attachments is limited to 25MB.63- 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.64- Use --draft to save the forward as a draft instead of sending it immediately.65## See Also67- [gws-shared](../gws-shared/SKILL.md) — Global flags and auth69- [gws-gmail](../gws-gmail/SKILL.md) — All send, read, and manage email commands70
