Send Mail Message:
  Display Name: "Send Inquiry Email"
  Account Name: "myOutlookAccount"
  To Email Address: "inquiry@example.com"
  CC Email IDs: "cc@example.com"
  BCC Email IDs: "bcc@example.com"
  Subject: "Regarding Your Inquiry"
  Body: "Dear User, Thank you for your inquiry. We will get back to you soon."
  HTML Body: "<p>Dear User,</p><p>Thank you for your inquiry. We will get back to you soon.</p>"

The email content includes both plain text and HTML body, and an attachment is added. The result of the send operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isEmailSentSuccessfully" for further handling in the workflow.
