 ** Data **   
The raw data of the message. This data needs to base64-encoded if you are accessing Amazon SES directly through the HTTPS interface. If you are accessing Amazon SES using an AWS SDK, the SDK takes care of the base 64-encoding for you. In all cases, the client must ensure that the message format complies with Internet email standards regarding email header fields, MIME types, and MIME encoding.  
The To:, CC:, and BCC: headers in the raw message can contain a group list.  
If you are using `SendRawEmail` with sending authorization, you can include X-headers in the raw message to specify the "Source," "From," and "Return-Path" addresses. For more information, see the documentation for `SendRawEmail`.   
Do not include these X-headers in the DKIM signature, because they are removed by Amazon SES before sending the email.
For more information, go to the [Amazon SES Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/send-email-raw.html).  
Type: Base64-encoded binary data object
