(Lianja) Send Encrypted Email with a Selected Algorithm (AES, 3DES, etc.)

Sends an encrypted email using the recipient's digital certificate from a .cer file, and chooses 3DES for the encryption algorithm. (It is also possible to send AES encrypted email w/ 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit encryption simply by setting the Pkcs7CryptAlg and Pkcs7KeyLength properties.)

// The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.

// Load the .cer file into a certificate object.
// 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.

// For "3des" the key length must be 192.
