bird email threads messages reply <thread-id> <message-id> [flags]
Reply to a thread message
Sends a reply from the mailbox's own address. Recipients and threading headers are derived from the message being replied to. To reply to a whole conversation, target its newest received message.
Build the request from flags, a JSON EmailThreadMessageReplyRequest body via --body-file ("-" reads
stdin), or both — a flag overrides the matching body field. Run --example to
print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print the resolved request without
sending it.
# print the body shape (no credentials needed)
