C:\PS>send-mailmessage -to "User01 <user01@example.com>" -from "User02 <user02@example.com>" -subject "Test mail"
Description
-----------
This command sends an e-mail message from User01 to User02.
The mail message has a subject, which is required, but it does not have a body, which is optional. Also, because the SmtpServer parameter is not
specified, Send-MailMessage uses the value of the $PSEmailServer preference variable for the SMTP server.
