Demonstrates how to add a DKIM-Signature header field to a MIME message.

Note: The DKIM / DomainKey functionality is included with the Chilkat MIME license.

    //  To create a DKIM signature for email (i.e. MIME),
    //  you'll need to provide the following:
    //  (1) An RSA private key in any common file format.
    //  (2) The domain name (typically the same domain
    //  as the sender of an email).
    //  (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.
    //  (Chilkat does not provide an API for creating DNS records.
    //  Creating the DKIM DNS record is something you would do
    //  manually.)

    //  Set the domain and selector:
    //  You'll need to provide your own values here..
    dkim.put_DkimDomain("chilkatsoft.com");
    dkim.put_DkimSelector("tuna");

    //  Load a private key from any common RSA private key
    //  format, such as DER, PKCS8, PEM, XML, etc.
    //  The LoadDkimPkFile method automatically detects
    //  the file format and reads it appropriately.
    //  If a password is not required, you'll still need to provide
    //  a password string argument, but it is ignored.
