// 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,

// (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.)
