// Important: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.68 or greater.

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

Chilkat.Http http = new 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).

http.AuthToken = "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>
// 	</html>

// Build the HTML body...

sbHtmlBody.AppendLine("</body>",bCrlf);
sbHtmlBody.AppendLine("</html>",bCrlf);

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

// 	{
// 	  "message": {
// 	    "subject": "Sample HTML Email",
// 	    "body": {
// 	      "contentType": "html",
