Always show a preview before sending:

Subject: Application for [Job Title] — [Your Name]
Company: [Company Name]

[Email preview...]

Send this email? (yes/no)

Step 2: Generate cover letter (if not provided)

Step 3: Send via gog

Write email body to temp file then send:

# Write body to temp file (avoids newline issues)
cat > /tmp/job_application_email.txt << 'EOF'
[email body here]
EOF

# Send the email
gog gmail send \
  --to "[e-mail]" \
  --subject "Application for Software Engineer — Jane Smith" \
  --body-file /tmp/job_application_email.txt \
  --account [e-mail]

Step 4: Log the application

After sending, record it in the job search tracker:

✅ Sent: [Company] — [Job Title]
📅 Date: [today's date]
📧 To: [recipient email]
📌 Status: Applied

Ask the user if they want to save this to their job search log file (~/job-search-log.md).

Email Etiquette Rules

• Subject format: Application for [Job Title] — [Full Name]
• Salutation: Use "Dear [Name]" if known; "Dear Hiring Manager" if not
• Length: Cover letter ≤ 250 words; concise and specific
• Tone: Professional but not stiff; match company culture if known (startup vs bank)
• Attachments note: Mention "I have attached my resume" even if sending inline (no actual file attachment via gog — paste resume as plain text at bottom or in separate follow-up)
• Follow-up: Suggest following up in 5–7 business days if no response

Batch Sending (multiple companies)

If user wants to send to multiple companies:

1. Confirm the list first (show all recipients + subjects)
2. Personalize each email (company name, role, specific reason)
3. Send one by one with confirmation between each
4. Never send bulk/identical emails — always personalize

• If gog not found: guide user to install with brew install steipete/tap/gogcli
• If not authenticated: run gog auth add [email] --services gmail
• If send fails: save draft instead with gog gmail drafts create ...
