	Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan();

	// Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
	mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial");

	// Set the SMTP server hostname.
	mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.earthlink.net";

	// Create a simple email.
	Chilkat.Email email = new Chilkat.Email();

	email.Body = "This is the body";
	email.Subject = "This is the subject";
	email.AddTo("Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com");
	email.From = "Jack Johnson <jj@chilkatsoft.com>";
	
	// Send mail.
	bool success;
	success = mailman.SendEmail(email);
