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

mime = chilkat.CkMime()

# Load a PFX file into a certificate object.
cert = chilkat.CkCert()
pfxFilepath = "pfxFiles/something.pfx"

success = cert.LoadPfxFile(pfxFilepath,pfxPassword)
if (success == False):
    print(cert.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("This is the plain-text MIME body.")

mime.put_Charset("utf-8")
mime.put_Encoding("quoted-printable")

# Sign the MIME (adds a PKCS7 detached signature)
success = mime.AddDetachedSignature(cert)
if (success == False):
    print(mime.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Save the S/MIME to a file.
