#  Build the basic EDI email where the body is the EDIFACT message:

email.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.

#  When sending S/MIME encrypted email, it is the recipient's
#  certificate that is used for encryption.  Only the public key
#  is needed to encrypt.  The recipient is the only
#  one possessing the private key, and therefore is the only
#  one able to decrypt.

#  Specify the certificate to be used for encryption.
