May I be so bold as to suggest additional switches:

  -send -and -nosend (with -send being the default, if you like)

   --foo bar (adds a component named "foo" with value, "bar". (This notation is
   analogous to one used in pick).

   -file path (where the draft goes) (implies -nosend)

With those features the program becomes a fairly powerful draft generation
utility. What you have is already very close to that).
