• Prefer plain text. Use

  --body-file

  for multi-paragraph messages (or

  --body-file -

  for stdin).
• Same

  --body-file

  pattern works for drafts and replies.

• --body

  does not unescape

  \n

  . If you need inline newlines, use a heredoc or

  $'Line 1\n\nLine 2'

  .
• Use

  --body-html

  only when you need rich formatting.
• HTML tags:

  <p>

  for paragraphs,

  <br>

  for line breaks,

  <strong>

  for bold,

  <em>

  for italic,

  <a href="url">

  for links,

  <ul>

  /

  <li>

  for lists.
• Example (plain text via stdin):
  bash

  gog gmail send --to recipient@example.com \
    --subject "Meeting Follow-up" \
    --body-file - <<'EOF'
  Hi Name,
  
  Thanks for meeting today. Next steps:
  - Item one
  - Item two
  
  Best regards,
  Your Name
  EOF

• Example (HTML list):
  bash

  gog gmail send --to recipient@example.com \
    --subject "Meeting Follow-up" \
    --body-html "<p>Hi Name,</p><p>Thanks for meeting today. Here are the next steps:</p><ul><li>Item one</li><li>Item two</li></ul><p>Best regards,<br>Your Name</p>"

• Set

  GOG_ACCOUNT=you@gmail.com

  to avoid repeating

  --account

  .
• For scripting, prefer

  --json

  plus

  --no-input

  .
• Sheets values can be passed via

  --values-json

  (recommended) or as inline rows.
• Docs supports export/cat/copy. In-place edits require a Docs API client (not in gog).
• Confirm before sending mail or creating events.

• gog gmail search

  returns one row per thread; use

  gog gmail messages search

  when you need every individual email returned separately.
