void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    HCkEmailW email1;
    HCkEmailW email2;

    //  The email's FROM name and address can be set in several ways.
    //  It can include an optional friendly name (which is just a description),
    //  and it must include an address.

    //  For example:
    email1 = CkEmailW_Create();
    CkEmailW_putSubject(email1,L"test");
    CkEmailW_putBody(email1,L"test");

    CkEmailW_putFromName(email1,L"Joe Sample");
    CkEmailW_putFromAddress(email1,L"joe.sample@example.com");

    //  the From property contains both the FromName and FromAddress
    //  This produces the following output:
    //  From: "Joe Sample" <joe.sample@example.com>
    wprintf(L"From: %s\n",CkEmailW_ck_from(email1));
    wprintf(L"--------------------------------------------------\n");

    //  Examine the MIME of the email:
    wprintf(L"%s\n",CkEmailW_getMime(email1));
    wprintf(L"--------------------------------------------------\n");

    //  Output is:

    //  	MIME-Version: 1.0
    //  	Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 12:32:13 -0600
    //  	Message-ID: <02B461C6D12FA6686C3151A649ED8D5BBFBE0721@CHILKAT13>
    //  	Content-Type: text/plain
    //  	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    //  	X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
    //  	Subject: test
    //  	From: "Joe Sample" <joe.sample@example.com>
    //  
    //  	test

    //  --------------------------------------------
    //  Alternatively, the From property can be set, and this 
    //  implicitly sets the FromName and FromAddress properties.
