* This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Use your previously obtained access token here:
* See the following examples for getting an access token:
*    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
*    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
*    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
*    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).

* To send email, we'll POST to the following endpoint:
* 
* POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/sendMail
* 
* (The special keyword "me" may be used in place of a principal name.)
* 

* The body of the POST request contains JSON that specifies the email subject, body,
* recipients, etc.  This example will build the following JSON email:
* 

* 	{
* 	  "message": {
* 	    "subject": "Meet for lunch?",
* 	    "body": {
* 	      "contentType": "Text",
* 	      "content": "The new cafeteria is open."
* 	    },
* 	    "toRecipients": [
* 	      {
* 	        "emailAddress": {
* 		  "name": "Chilkat Software",
* 	          "address": "admin@chilkat.io"
* 	        }
* 	      },
* 	      {
* 	        "emailAddress": {
* 	          "address": "chilkat.support@gmail.com"
* 	        }
* 	      }
* 	    ],
* 	    "ccRecipients": [
* 	      {
* 	        "emailAddress": {
* 		  "name": "Chilkat Blog",
* 		  "address": "admin@cknotes.com"
* 	        }
* 	      }
* 	    ]
* 	  },
* 	  "saveToSentItems": true
* 	}
* 

* Build the above JSON.
