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

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

    // To create a DKIM 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 DKIM signature via an
    // external email client supporting DKIM 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 DKIM DNS record creation.  
    // (Chilkat does not provide an API for creating DNS records.  
    // Creating the DKIM DNS record is something you would do
    // manually.)

    // Set the domain and selector:
    // You'll need to provide your own values here..

    // Load a private key from any common RSA private key
    // format, such as DER, PKCS8, PEM, XML, etc.
    // The LoadDkimPkFile method automatically detects
    // the file format and reads it appropriately.
    // If a password is not required, you'll still need to provide
    // a password string argument, but it is ignored.
