// Use the Chilkat Email API to create or load an email.
$email = new CkEmail();

$email->put_Charset('utf-8');
$email->AddPlainTextAlternativeBody('This is a test');

$sbMime = new CkStringBuilder();

// The body of the HTTP request will be JSON..

// The response body contains JSON.
// Use the online tool at Generate JSON Parsing Code
// to generate JSON parsing code.
