// To send email, 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:
//
