# charm-pop
CLI and TUI tool for sending emails from the terminal. Requires either a `RESEND_API_KEY` or SMTP config.
## Launch
```bash
pop # open TUI
```
## CLI Usage
```bash
pop < message.md \
--from "me@example.com" \
--to "you@example.com" \
--subject "Hello" \
--attach invoice.pdf
pop --preview # preview before sending
```
Body is read from stdin. `--preview` opens TUI for review before send.
## Auth: Resend
```bash
export RESEND_API_KEY=re_xxxx
```
Get key at https://resend.com/api-keys. No custom domain: use `onboarding@resend.dev` as sender.
## Auth: SMTP
```bash
export POP_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
export POP_SMTP_PORT=587
export POP_SMTP_USERNAME=you@gmail.com
export POP_SMTP_PASSWORD=hunter2
```
## Env Defaults
```bash
export POP_FROM=you@example.com
export POP_SIGNATURE="Sent with Pop!"
```
Saves typing `--from` every time.
## Attachments
```bash
pop --attach file.pdf --attach image.png < body.txt
```
Multiple `--attach` flags supported.
## Pipelines
```bash
# AI-written body via mods
pop <<< "$(mods -f 'Write a status update')" \
--subject "Weekly update" --preview
# Pick sender with gum
pop --from $(gum choose "a@x.com" "b@x.com") \
--to $(gum filter < contacts.txt)
# Generate and send invoice
invoice generate --item "Work" --rate 100 --output inv.pdf
pop --attach inv.pdf --body "Invoice attached."
```
## Flags Reference
| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--from` | Sender address |
| `--to` | Recipient (repeatable) |
| `--subject` | Email subject |
| `--body` | Body text (or use stdin) |
| `--attach` | File path to attach (repeatable) |
| `--preview` | Open TUI preview before sending |
