(MFC) Send Email Asynchronously using a Task

Send email asynchronously using the task object. Any Chilkat method (in any class/object) that involves network communications or lengthy processing will have an asynchronous version of the method. The asynchronous method has the same name as the synchronous method, but ends in "Async" and returns a Task object. The Task object can be run asynchronously on Chilkat's background thread pool.
