  // A DSN email is a report about the attempt to delivery 
  // an email.  It is usually a report that indicates failure or
  // or a delay in delivery.  The DSN is typically sent back to
  // the sender of an email.

  // IMPORTANT:
  // Note: Please be careful in sending automated DSN's.
  // It is important to be aware of an issue called "backscatter".
  // See the Wikipedia article here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28e-mail%29

  // The ToDsn method will be called to create a new
  // DSN email based upon the email object calling ToDsn.
  // The email object instance used to call ToDsn would
  // typically be an email received from a POP3 or IMAP server.
  // In this case, to simplify the example, we'll load the email
  // from a .eml file.

  // This example will be creating a DSN for "someEmail.eml"
  try {
    email.loadEml('someEmail.eml');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // The DSN created by ToDsn will contain a 
  // "message/delivery-status" MIME sub-part that will
  // be composed of a number of name-value pairs.
  // See RFC 3464 ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3464 )
  // The name-value content for this part is passed
  // as XML to ToDsn. This part of the example
  // prepares the XML:
  final xml = CkXml();

  // For this example, we're just adding a few name-value pairs.
  // These should not be considered to be correct, required or
  // even sensible -- it's simply for the example.  
  xml.tag = 'DeliveryStatusFields';
  xml.newChild2('Status', '5.1.2 (bad destination system: no such domain)');
  xml.newChild2('Diagnostic-Code', 'smtp; Permanent failure: no such domain');
  xml.newChild2('X-BounceCategory', 'bad-domain');

  final xmlStr = xml.getXml();

  // The last argument to be passed to ToDsn will be a boolean
  // indicating whether to include the entire MIME of the calling
  // email object in the DSN, or only the header.
  // It may make sense to include the entire email for small emails,
  // but for large emails (with large attachments) it's probably
  // best to make the DSN header-only.
  final bHeaderOnly = true;

  // The first argument to be passed to ToDsn will
  // be a human-readable explanation that will be placed
  // into the 1st MIME part of the DSN (see RFC 3464).
  final humanReadableExplanation = 'Blah blah blah. The delivery of this email failed. Blah blah blah';

  // OK, we're ready to create DSN....
  final dsnEmail = CkEmail();

  try {
    email.toDsn(humanReadableExplanation, xmlStr, bHeaderOnly, dsnEmail);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Show the MIME of the source (original) email:
  print(email.getMime());

  print('**************************************');

  // Show the MIME of the DSN email:
  print(dsnEmail.getMime());

  // Sample output showing the MIME of the original email,
  // and the DSN email created based upon it:
