*  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.

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).

loHttp.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.)
*  

*  Load the files to be attached.
loAttach1 = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
loAttach1.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/fishing.pdf")
loAttach2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
loAttach2.LoadFile("qa_data/msword/sample.docx")

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

*  	{
*  	  "message": {
*  	    "subject": "Sample Email with Attachments",
*  	    "body": {
*  	      "contentType": "Text",

*  	      {
*  	        "emailAddress": {
*  		  "name": "Chilkat Software",
*  	          "address": "admin@chilkat.io"
*  	        }
*  	      },
*  	      {
*  	        "emailAddress": {
*  	          "address": "chilkat.support@gmail.com"
*  	        }
*  	      }
*  	    ],
*  	    "ccRecipients": [
*  	      {
*  	        "emailAddress": {
*  		  "name": "Chilkat Blog",
*  		  "address": "admin@cknotes.com"
*  	        }
*  	      }
*  	    ],
*  	    "attachments": [
*  	       {
*  	         "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.fileAttachment",
*  	         "name": "fishing.pdf",

*  	       },
*  	       {
*  	         "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.fileAttachment",
*  	         "name": "sample.docx",
