// Use your previously obtained access token here:
// See the following examples for getting an 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>

// 	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
// 	<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

// 	</html>

// Build the HTML body...
