Dim mime As New ChilkatMime

' Load the MIME
Dim success As Long
success = mime.LoadMimeFile("encrypted.mim")
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print mime.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Decrypt using a specific PFX file:
Dim pfxPassword As String
pfxPassword = "myPassword"
success = mime.DecryptUsingPfxFile("c:/myPfxFiles/myCertAndPrivateKey.pfx",pfxPassword)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print mime.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Display the decrypted MIME:
Debug.Print mime.GetMime()

' Note: The MIME to be decrypted should look something like this
' when viewed in a text editor:

' Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"
' Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
