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

# Check this email by implementing this curl command:

# curl -X POST "https://spamcheck.postmarkapp.com/filter"
# -H "Accept: application/json"
# -H "Content-Type: application/json"
# -v
# -d '{"email":"raw dump of email", "options":"short"}'
