        System.out.println(email.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // Add a "ContentDescription: HPM/3.0" in the attachment's sub-header.
    // The 1st attachment is at index 0.
    email.AddAttachmentHeader(0,"Content-Description","HPM/3.0");

    // Show the email MIME:
    System.out.println(email.getMime());
