Demonstrates how to download a GMail message into a Chilkat Email object. Go

    success := false

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

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()
    http.SetAuthToken("GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN")

    // The id of the GMail message to download.
    id := "166e50fed0b9b0cb"
    userId := "me"

    http.SetUrlVar("userId","me")
    http.SetUrlVar("id",id)

    // Fetch the email.
    url := "https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/{$userId}/messages/{$id}?format=raw"
    sbJson := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()

    // The RFC822 MIME of the email is contained in the "raw" as a base64URL encoded string.
