// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
let http = chilkat::Http::new();
// 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).
http.set_auth_token("MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN");
// To send mail, 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.)
//
// This example will send HTML email containing the following HTML body:
// <html>
// <head>
// <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
// <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
// </head>
// <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
// <font face="Calibri">This is a test <b>HTML email</b>.<br>
// </font>
// </body>

// Build the HTML body...

// The body of the POST request contains JSON that specifies the email subject, body,
