About this skill
What it does. Uses the gws gmail +forward command to forward a message by ID to comma-separated recipients, with optional CC, BCC, sender alias and plain-text or HTML notes. It can preserve or omit original attachments, add files, save the result as a draft, or show the request without sending it; Gmail's 25MB combined attachment limit applies.
When to use it. Use it to forward an existing Gmail message from the command line, either immediately or as a draft. It requires the shared GWS authentication and global configuration.
