    // A DSN email is a report about the attempt to delivery 
    // an email.  It is usually a report that indicates failure or
    // or a delay in delivery.  The DSN is typically sent back to
    // the sender of an email.

    // IMPORTANT:
    // Note: Please be careful in sending automated DSN's.
    // It is important to be aware of an issue called "backscatter".
    // See the Wikipedia article here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28e-mail%29

    // The CreateDsn method will be called to create a new
    // DSN email based upon the email object calling CreateDsn.
    // The email object instance used to call CreateDsn would
    // typically be an email received from a POP3 or IMAP server.
    // In this case, to simplify the example, we'll load the email
    // from a .eml file.

    // This example will be creating a DSN for "someEmail.eml"
    success = email.LoadEml("someEmail.eml");
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, email.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // The DSN created by CreateDsn will contain a 
    // "message/delivery-status" MIME sub-part that will
    // be composed of a number of name-value pairs.
    // See RFC 3464 ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3464 )
    // The name-value content for this part is passed
    // as XML to CreateDsn. This part of the example
    // prepares the XML:
    CkXml xml = new CkXml();

    // For this example, we're just adding a few name-value pairs.
    // These should not be considered to be correct, required or
    // even sensible -- it's simply for the example.  
    xml.put_Tag("DeliveryStatusFields");
    xml.NewChild2("Status","5.1.2 (bad destination system: no such domain)");
    xml.NewChild2("Diagnostic-Code","smtp; Permanent failure: no such domain");
    xml.NewChild2("X-BounceCategory","bad-domain");

    String xmlStr = xml.getXml();

    // The last argument to be passed to CreateDsn will be a boolean
    // indicating whether to include the entire MIME of the calling
    // email object in the DSN, or only the header.
    // It may make sense to include the entire email for small emails,
    // but for large emails (with large attachments) it's probably
    // best to make the DSN header-only.
    boolean bHeaderOnly = true;

    // The first argument to be passed to CreateDsn will
    // be a human-readable explanation that will be placed
    // into the 1st MIME part of the DSN (see RFC 3464).
    String humanReadableExplanation = "Blah blah blah. The delivery of this email failed. Blah blah blah";

    // OK, we're ready to create DSN....
    CkEmail dsnEmail;

    dsnEmail = email.CreateDsn(humanReadableExplanation,xmlStr,bHeaderOnly);
    if (email.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        Log.i(TAG, email.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // Show the MIME of the source (original) email:
