    // Next, we'll be sending an HTTP POST to add the label "questions" to each message in the
    // search results.  The JSON to be sent for the batchModify is this:

    // 	  ],
    // 	  "removeLabelIds": [
    // 	    string
    // 	  ]
    // 	}

    // We'll omit "removeLabelIds" because we're not removing any labels.
    // We are parsing the JSON search results, and at the same time building the batchModify JSON.
