    ; The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
    ; 
    ; multipart/alternative
    ;     text/plain
    ;     multipart/related
    ;         text/html
    ;         image/jpeg
    ; 

    ; Adding a top-level MIME header is easy.
    CkMime::ckAddHeaderField(mime,"hello-world","Hello World!")
    ; If a header field of the same name already exists, the AddHeaderField
    ; method adds a duplicate.
    CkMime::ckAddHeaderField(mime,"Subject","This is the 2nd Subject header.")
    Debug CkMime::ckGetEntireHead(mime)
    Debug "-"

    ; The top-level header now looks like this:
    ; 
    ; 	Subject: Test email.
    ; 	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
    ; 	MIME-Version: 1.0
    ; 	hello-world: Hello World!
    ; 	Subject: This is the 2nd Subject header.
    ; 

    ; The RemoveHeaderField method can remove the 1st occurrance, or all occurrences.
    bAllOccurrences.i = 1
    ; Remove all occurrences of the Subject header;
    CkMime::ckRemoveHeaderField(mime,"Subject",bAllOccurrences)
    Debug CkMime::ckGetEntireHead(mime)
    Debug "-"

    ; After removing all Subject header fields, the top-level header now looks like this:
    ; 
    ; Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
    ; MIME-Version: 1.0
    ; hello-world: Hello World!
    ; 

    ; The content of a header field can be updated by calling SetHeaderField.
    ; If the header field does not already exist, it is added.  Otherwise it is updated.
    ; Note: The order of header fields SHOULD never matter.
    CkMime::ckSetHeaderField(mime,"hello-world","Goodbye World.")
    Debug CkMime::ckGetEntireHead(mime)
    Debug "-"

    ; Now we have:
    ; 
    ; 	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
    ; 	MIME-Version: 1.0
    ; 	hello-world: Goodbye World.
    ; 

    ; To add/update/delete header fields in sub-parts, navigate to
    ; the sub-part and do the same..

    pJpg.i = CkMime::ckGetPart(mpRelated,1)

    ; Add a header to the image/jpeg sub-header.
