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

    // The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
    mailman := chilkat.NewMailMan()

    // Set the SMTP server.
    mailman.SetSmtpHost("smtp.mymailserver.com")

    // Create a new email object
    email := chilkat.NewEmail()

    email.SetSubject("This email is signed")
    email.SetBody("This is a digitally signed mail")
    email.SetFrom("Chilkat Admin <admin@chilkatsoft.com>")
    success := email.AddTo("Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com")

    // Indicate that the email should be sent signed.
    email.SetSendSigned(true)

    // Tell the mailman to use a PFX file as a source for locating
    // the certificate and private key required for signing.
    // The certificate chosen for signing will be the one that
    // matches the sender's email address, which also has
    // a private key.  All intermediate certs in the chain of 
    // authentication, up to and including the root, will
    // be included in the signature.
    success = mailman.AddPfxSourceFile("/pfx_files/chilkatsoft_secret.pfx","secret")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()
        email.DisposeEmail()
        return
    }

    // Signed email can be sent in two different ways.  
    // In a multipart/signed email, the signature is attached as a separate MIME part.
    // In an opaque email (signedData) the content of the email is encapsulated within the signature
    // and the email is sent as "application/pkcs7-mime". 
    // Either should be fine, but some receiving systems might require one or the other..
    mailman.SetOpaqueSigning(false)

    // Send a signed email.
    success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
    }
    else {
        // The LastErrorText property provides information
        // even when successful.
