void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkMime mime;
    BOOL bAllOccurrences;
    HCkMime mpRelated;
    HCkMime pJpg;

    success = FALSE;

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

    mime = CkMime_Create();

    // The contents of this MIME file are shown below, 
    // and is also available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/sampleMime.txt
    success = CkMime_LoadMimeFile(mime,"qa_data/mime/sampleMime.txt");
    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkMime_lastErrorText(mime));
        CkMime_Dispose(mime);
        return;
    }

    // The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
    // 
    // multipart/alternative
    //     text/plain
    //     multipart/related
    //         text/html
    //         image/jpeg
    // 

    // Adding a top-level MIME header is easy.
    CkMime_AddHeaderField(mime,"hello-world","Hello World!");
    // If a header field of the same name already exists, the AddHeaderField
    // method adds a duplicate.
    CkMime_AddHeaderField(mime,"Subject","This is the 2nd Subject header.");
    printf("%s\n",CkMime_getEntireHead(mime));
    printf("-\n");

    // The top-level header now looks like this:
    // 
    // 	Subject: Test email.
    // 	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
    // 	MIME-Version: 1.0
    // 	hello-world: Hello World!
    // 	Subject: This is the 2nd Subject header.
    // 

    // The RemoveHeaderField method can remove the 1st occurrance, or all occurrences.
    bAllOccurrences = TRUE;
    // Remove all occurrences of the Subject header;
    CkMime_RemoveHeaderField(mime,"Subject",bAllOccurrences);
    printf("%s\n",CkMime_getEntireHead(mime));
    printf("-\n");

    // After removing all Subject header fields, the top-level header now looks like this:
    // 
    // Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
    // MIME-Version: 1.0
    // hello-world: Hello World!
    // 

    // The content of a header field can be updated by calling SetHeaderField.
    // If the header field does not already exist, it is added.  Otherwise it is updated.
    // Note: The order of header fields SHOULD never matter.
    CkMime_SetHeaderField(mime,"hello-world","Goodbye World.");
    printf("%s\n",CkMime_getEntireHead(mime));
    printf("-\n");

    // Now we have:
    // 
    // 	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
    // 	MIME-Version: 1.0
    // 	hello-world: Goodbye World.
    // 

    // To add/update/delete header fields in sub-parts, navigate to
    // the sub-part and do the same..

    mpRelated = CkMime_Create();
    CkMime_PartAt(mime,1,mpRelated);

    pJpg = CkMime_Create();
    CkMime_PartAt(mpRelated,1,pJpg);

    // Add a header to the image/jpeg sub-header.
    CkMime_SetHeaderField(pJpg,"CustomHeader","This is the custom header value.");

    // View the entire MIME..
    printf("%s\n",CkMime_getMime(mime));
