(Chilkat2-Python) Send Encrypted Email to Multiple Recipients

Demonstrates how to create and send an S/MIME encrypted email to multiple recipients. The digital certificate of each recipient is required. The encrypting/sending process uses each recipient's digital certificate (which internally contains the public key). Each recipient decrypts the received email using his/her private key.

# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# Load each recipient's certificate into a Chilkat certificate object.
# This example loads the certificates from files.  However, the Chilkat
# certificate object provides other means for loading certificates,
# such as from in-memory PEM strings, or in-memory binary DER encoded form, etc.
