    {
    BOOL success;

    HCkEmail email;
    const char *vcard;

    success = FALSE;

    //  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.
    mailman = CkMailMan_Create();

    //  Set the SMTP server.
    CkMailMan_putSmtpHost(mailman,"smtp.chilkatsoft.com");

    //  Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
    CkMailMan_putSmtpUsername(mailman,"myUsername");
    CkMailMan_putSmtpPassword(mailman,"myPassword");

    //  Create a new email object
    email = CkEmail_Create();

    CkEmail_putSubject(email,"This is a vcard test");
    CkEmail_putBody(email,"This is a vcard test");
    CkEmail_putFrom(email,"Chilkat Admin <admin@chilkatsoft.com>");
    success = CkEmail_AddTo(email,"Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com");
    //  To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

    //  A vCard is an email attachment having a Content-Type = "text/x-vcard".
    //  Call AddStringAttachment to add a vcard from an in-memory string.
    //  The filename should have a ".vcf" file extension.  Chilkat will automatically
    //  recognize it and set the content-type to "text/x-vcard";

    //  Your application is responsible for providing the vcard formatted string.  For example:
    //  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard
    //  
    //  begin:vcard
    //  fn:Matt Smith
    //  n:Smith;Matt
    //  org:Chilkat Software, Inc.
    //  tel;work:630-784-9670
    //  url:http://www.chilkatsoft.com
    //  version:2.1
    //  end:vcard

    vcard = "begin:vcard ...";
    success = CkEmail_AddStringAttachment(email,"admin.vcf",vcard);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkEmail_lastErrorText(email));
        CkMailMan_Dispose(mailman);
        CkEmail_Dispose(email);
        return;
    }

    //  Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
    //  The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
    //  open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
    //  same connection.  
    success = CkMailMan_SendEmail(mailman,email);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkMailMan_lastErrorText(mailman));
        CkMailMan_Dispose(mailman);
        CkEmail_Dispose(email);
        return;
    }

    //  Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
    //  the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
    //  call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
    //  Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
    //  not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
    //  for the example:
    success = CkMailMan_CloseSmtpConnection(mailman);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.\n");
    }

    printf("Mail with vCard Sent!\n");
