//  See the following examples for getting an access token:
//     Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 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:
//  

//  	{

//  	    "subject": "Meet for lunch?",
//  	    "body": {
//  	      "contentType": "Text",
