Gws Gmail Reply All

Handles reply-all emails through the command line with proper threading, which is surprisingly tricky to get right when you're automating Gmail responses. The key feature here is the remove flag that lets you exclude specific recipients from the reply, solving that common problem where you want to reply-all but drop someone from the thread. Also handles HTML formatting correctly and preserves inline images in quoted content. Most useful when you're building automated email workflows or just want to batch process replies without opening Gmail. The dry-run option is smart since reply-all mistakes are expensive.
