message - Manage messages using the shared API

message [-h|--help] <subcommands>

Manage messages using the shared API.

A message is composed of headers (key-value properties) and a body (suite of MIME parts). The built-in `compose` / `reply` / `forward` / `read` subcommands cover simple cases via CLI flags. Richer composition is delegated to standalone tools (e.g. [`mml`](https://github.com/pimalaya/mml)) wired up through shell pipelines into `messages send` / `messages add`.

Print help (see a summary with '-h')
