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

    // The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
    let mailman = CkoMailMan()!

    // Use your SMTP server hostname.  This example uses office365, but it could be any SMTP server..
    mailman.smtpHost = "outlook.office365.com"
    mailman.smtpPort = 587
    mailman.startTLS = true

    // For whatever reason, the iPhone's email program requires
    // images in HTML to be referenced by Content-ID.  Therefore,
    // we must add the image like this:
    var contentIdStarfish: String? = email.addRelatedFile(path: "qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")
    if email.lastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(email.lastErrorText!)")

    }

    // The src attribute for the image tag is set to the contentIdStarfish:
    let sbHtml = CkoStringBuilder()!
    sbHtml.append(value: "<html><body><p>This is an HTML email with an embedded image.</p>")
    sbHtml.append(value: "<p><img src=\"cid:CONTENT_ID_STARFISH\" /></p></body></html>")
