// If running on Microsoft Windows, the Chilkat mailman
// will automatically search the registry-based certificate stores
// for matching certificates and private keys required for
// decryption.  However, on Linux, MAX OS X, and other
// operating systems, no such thing exists.  Therefore, you'll 
// need to specify one or more PFX (.p12 / .pfx) files as
// sources for locating the certs required for decyrption.

// retrieved from the Email object (methods: GetSignedByCert, GetEncryptedByCert; 
// properties: SignedBy, EncryptedBy, SignaturesValid, Decrypted, ReceivedSigned, 
// ReceivedEncrypted).
