' 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.)
' 

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

' 	{
' 	  "message": {
' 	    "subject": "Meet for lunch?",
' 	    "body": {
' 	      "contentType": "Text",
