    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkEmail email;

    email.put_Subject("test");
    email.AddTo("Chilkat","support@chilkatsoft.com");
    email.put_From("Matt <matt@example.com>");
    email.put_Body("This is a simple plain-text body.");

    bool success = email.AddFileAttachment2("qa_data/1.HPM","application/x-hprimnet");
    if (success != true) {
        strOut.append(email.lastErrorText());
        strOut.append("\r\n");
        SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1,strOut.getUnicode());
        return;
    }

    // Add a "ContentDescription: HPM/3.0" in the attachment's sub-header.
    // The 1st attachment is at index 0.
    email.AddAttachmentHeader(0,"Content-Description","HPM/3.0");

    // Show the email MIME:
    strOut.append(email.getMime());
    strOut.append("\r\n");

    // This is the output:
    // (Note: When Chilkat sends email, all CKX-* headers are removed prior to sending.)
