// Important: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.68 or greater.

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

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

// Use your previously obtained access token here:
// See the following examples for getting an access token:
//    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
//    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
//    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
//    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).

http.set_auth_token("MICROSOFT_GRAPH_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.)
// 

// Load the files to be attached.

// The body of the POST request contains JSON that specifies the email subject, body,
// recipients, etc.  This example will build the following JSON plain-text email:
