# 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.

# Note: On MS Windows, it is not required to provide PFX sources
# if the needed certs and private keys are already installed
# on the system (in the registry-based certificate stores).

# into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.

# S/MIME security envelopes are automatically "unwrapped" 
# when a message is retrieved from the server. Signed emails are automatically verified, and 
# encrypted emails are automatically decrypted, restoring the email to the original state before 
# signing and/or encrypting. Information about the signing and encrypting certificates can be 
# retrieved from the Email object (methods: GetSignedByCert, GetEncryptedByCert; 
# properties: SignedBy, EncryptedBy, SignaturesValid, Decrypted, ReceivedSigned, 
# ReceivedEncrypted).
