// When sending an email with a DKIM signature, the MIME
// of the email must not be modified prior to
// or during the sending process.  Therefore, the MIME of the
// email is assembled, the DKIM signature is added, and then
// SendMimeBd is called to send the email.

// First get the MIME of the email.  Calling RenderToMimeBd 
// causes the email to be signed and/or encrypted if those options
// have been selected.  The MIME returned by RenderToMimeBd
// is the exact MIME that would've been sent if SendEmail was
// called.  We'll add a DKIM signature header to this MIME and then send...

// To create a DKIM signature,
// 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..

// format, such as DER, PKCS8, PEM, XML, etc.

// an empty password string argument, but it is ignored.

// Here we are adding "chilkat.support@gmail.com" as an additional BCC address.
// Notice that the 1st three email addresses are NOT BCC because these email addresses
// appear in the MIME header of the email (in the "To" and "CC" header fields).
// A BCC email address does not appear in the MIME, and thus the non-BCC recipients cannot see
// that the email was also sent to the BCC address.  (BCC means "blind carbon copy")
