Gws Gmail Forward

Automates Gmail message forwarding through the command line, handling the tedious parts like preserving original attachments, inline images, and proper message formatting. You'll reach for this when building email workflows, automated reporting systems, or when you need to forward messages programmatically without clicking through Gmail's web interface. The HTML preservation is solid and it respects Gmail's 25MB attachment limits. Honestly, it's one of those utilities that seems niche until you need to forward 50 messages with specific notes attached, then it becomes indispensable.
