Sorry to have bothered you with this: I now executed the send (calibre-smtp) separately and get an error message from google about size limits.

The reason I had not noticed before is that I had an output redirect on the ebook-convert command but not on the calibre-smtp. Google has a 25MB limit on attachments and the ft.mobi is larger than that. I need to first put it on Google Drive and send from there.

Thank you for your help. Case closed. One remaining question: can the recipe reduce the size of the .mobi file somehow?
