Tips
- Replies to the sender and all original To/CC recipients.
- Use --to to add extra recipients to the To field.
- Use --cc to add new CC recipients.
- Use --bcc for recipients who should not be visible to others.
- Use --remove to exclude recipients from the outgoing reply, including the sender or Reply-To target.
- The command fails if no To recipient remains after exclusions and --to additions.
