Sends an encrypted email using the recipient's digital certificate from a .cer file. C++

    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  Set the SMTP server.

    //  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.
