(C) Add DomainKey-Signature Header to MIME / Email

Demonstrates how to add a DomainKey-Signature header field to a MIME message.

Note: The DKIM / DomainKey functionality is included with the Chilkat MIME license.

    // To create a DomainKey signature for email (i.e. MIME),
    // you'll need to provide the following:
    // (1) An RSA private key in any common file format.
    // (2) The domain name (typically the same domain
    // as the sender of an email).
    // (3) A selector for the domain name -- an arbitrary string
    // to identify the matching public key in DNS.

    // To allow an email recipient to verify the DomainKey signature via an
    // external email client supporting DomainKey or using other software,
    // you will need to create a DNS record with the selector
    // and matching public key.  This example does not provide
    // information about DomainKey DNS record creation.  
    // (Chilkat does not provide an API for creating DNS records.  
    // Creating the DomainKey DNS record is something you would do
    // manually.)

    // a password string argument, but it is ignored.
