Demonstrates how to send a signed email using a digital certificate w/ private key stored in a PFX file. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

  // Called when the activity is first created.

    // 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.
    CkMailMan mailman = new CkMailMan();

    // Set the SMTP server.

    email.put_SendSigned(true);

    // Tell the mailman to use a PFX file as a source for locating
    // the certificate and private key required for signing.
    // The certificate chosen for signing will be the one that
    // matches the sender's email address, which also has
    // a private key.  All intermediate certs in the chain of 
    // authentication, up to and including the root, will
    // be included in the signature.

    // Signed email can be sent in two different ways.  
    // In a multipart/signed email, the signature is attached as a separate MIME part.
    // In an opaque email (signedData) the content of the email is encapsulated within the signature
    // and the email is sent as "application/pkcs7-mime". 
    // Either should be fine, but some receiving systems might require one or the other..
