Commands:
  antwort build EMAIL_ID               # Builds email markup and inlines CSS from source
  antwort help [COMMAND]               # Describe available commands or one specific command
  antwort init PROJECT_NAME            # Initializes a new Antwort Email project
  antwort list                         # Lists all emails in the ./emails directory by id
  antwort new EMAIL_ID                 # Creates a new email template
  antwort prune                        # Removes all files in the ./build directory
  antwort send EMAIL_ID                # Sends built email via SMTP
  antwort server                       # Starts http://localhost:9292 server for coding and previewing emails
  antwort upload EMAIL_ID              # Uploads email assets to AWS S3
