(Go) 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.

    // Provide PFX/.p12 files for any certs+keys needed for decryption.
    // Signature verification does not need anything extra.  
    // (Also, Chilkat will automatically find and use pre-installed certs + private keys needed for decryption
    // on a Windows system.)

    // the email is already decrypted and in a state as if it were never signed or encrypted.

    // whether it was successfully unwrapped and who signed or encrypted it:
