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

    // The goal of this example is to create an email that has this MIME format,
    // where the body of the email is XML using base64 encoding, 
    // and the Content-Type and Content-Disposition are set as indicated.

    // Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2023 09:01:52 +0200 (CEST)
    // From: joe@example1.com
    // Subject: [v=EMCS.NL][a=NL****][k=****][s=0]
    // To: mary@example2.com
    // MIME-Version: 1.0
    // Content-Type: application/octet-stream; charset=us-ascii; name=6bd8dfe259b3a42c90a28a82b5fc6e77.txt
