Calendar Colors

• Use `gog calendar colors` to see all available event colors (IDs 1-11)
• Add colors to events with `--event-color <id>` flag
• Event color IDs (from `gog calendar colors` output):
• 1: #a4bdfc
• 2: #7ae7bf
• 3: #dbadff
• 4: #ff887c
• 5: #fbd75b
• 6: #ffb878
• 7: #46d6db
• 8: #e1e1e1
• 9: #5484ed
• 10: #51b749
• 11: #dc2127

Email Formatting

• 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):

  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):

  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>"

Notes

• 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.
