loEmail.Subject = "this is a test"
loEmail.From = "support@chilkatsoft.com"
loEmail.AddTo("John Doe","john@example.com")
loEmail.AddPlainTextAlternativeBody("this is a test")
loEmail.AddHtmlAlternativeBody("<html><body><b>Hello John!</b><p>This is a test</p></body></html>")
lnSuccess = loEmail.AddFileAttachment2("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg","image/jpeg")

* -v
* -d '{"email":"raw dump of email", "options":"short"}'
