    // First load image data into memory.
    // This example loads image data from a file.
    // However, your application could get the image data from any other source, such as
    // from a database.
    let fac = CkoFileAccess()
    var imageBytes: NSData
    imageBytes = fac.ReadEntireFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")

    // The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
    let mailman = CkoMailMan()

    // Use your SMTP server hostname.  This example uses office365, but it could be any SMTP server..
    mailman.SmtpHost = "outlook.office365.com"
    mailman.SmtpPort = 587
    mailman.StartTLS = true

    // Set the SMTP login/password
    mailman.SmtpUsername = "OFFICE365-SMTP-LOGIN"
    mailman.SmtpPassword = "OFFICE365-SMTP-PASSWORD"

    // Create a new email object
    let email = CkoEmail()
    email.Subject = "HTML Email with Image Loaded from In-Memory Bytes"
    email.From = "Chilkat Support <my-office365-user@mydomain.com>"
    email.AddTo("Chilkat Support", emailAddress: "support@chilkatsoft.com")

    var contentIdStarfish: String? = email.AddRelatedData("starfish.jpg", in: imageBytes)

        return
    }

    // The src attribute for the image tag is set to the contentIdStarfish:
    let sbHtml = CkoStringBuilder()
    sbHtml.Append("<html><body><p>This is an HTML email with an embedded image.</p>")
    sbHtml.Append("<p><img src=\"cid:CONTENT_ID_STARFISH\" /></p></body></html>")
