Hello all.

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

The following is the terminal output upon running the read_and_send_emails.py program with the Start Debugging button: {"error":{"code":"RequestBodyRead","message":"An unexpected instance annotation name '\n\t\tTake the binary content (likely read from a file) and encodes\n\t\tit into Base64 format.\n\n\t\tMake sure to encode the file content in base64 before assigning\n\t\tit to contentBytes.contentBytes' was found when reading from the JSON reader, In OData, Instance annotation name must start with @."}}

How could the library or libraries I'm using be the cause of this obstacle?

can you run your code through ruff format, it's all wiggly

it's also missing imports
