//  When sending an email with a DKIM signature, the MIME

//  or during the sending process.  Therefore, the MIME of the
//  email is assembled, the DKIM signature is added, and then
//  SendMimeBd is called to send the email.

//  First get the MIME of the email.  Calling RenderToMimeBd 
//  causes the email to be signed and/or encrypted if those options
//  have been selected.  The MIME returned by RenderToMimeBd
//  is the exact MIME that would've been sent if SendEmail was
//  called.  We'll add a DKIM signature header to this MIME and then send...

//  To create a DKIM signature,

//  (3) A selector for the domain name -- an arbitrary string
//  to identify the matching public key in DNS.

//  To allow an email recipient to verify the DKIM signature via an
//  external email client supporting DKIM or using other software,
//  you will need to create a DNS record with the selector
//  and matching public key.  This example does not provide
//  information about DKIM DNS record creation.
