    // When the mailman sends email, it renders the email to be sent,
    // and then sends the rendered MIME.

    // Instead of actually sending the email, this example will render
    // to MIME so we can see what would be sent..

    // We can explicitly set the Message-ID like this:
    mailman.put_AutoGenMessageId(false);
    email.AddHeaderField("Message-ID","<xyz123@abc>");

    String mimeStr = mailman.renderToMime(email);
    Log.i(TAG, mimeStr);

    // This is what we get:

    // MIME-Version: 1.0
    // Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 17:20:09 -0500
    // Message-ID: <xyz123@abc>
