After sending, record it in the job search tracker:

✅ Sent: [Company] — [Job Title]

📌 Status: Applied

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

Email Etiquette Rules

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
