(C++) Load Signed and/or Encrypted Email and Unwrap Security Layers

The LoadEml method loads an email (.eml file containing the MIME of an email) and automatically unwraps the digital signature and encryption security layers. A program can then examine the properties of the email object to see what was unwrapped.
