Demonstrates how to download and verify digitally signed S/MIME email.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

    ' The security layers of signed and/or encrypted emails

    ' a Chilkat email object.
    ' An application only needs to check to see if an email
    ' was received signed or encrypted, and then examine
    ' the success/failure.  For example:
    If (email.ReceivedSigned = 1) Then

        outFile.WriteLine("This email was signed.")

        ' Check to see if the signatures were verified.
        If (email.SignaturesValid = 1) Then

                WScript.Quit
            End If
