#  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
success = mime.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")

#  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
success = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")

#  Set the SMTP server.
mailman.put_SmtpHost("smtp.chilkatsoft.com")

#  Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.put_SmtpUsername("myUsername")
mailman.put_SmtpPassword("myPassword")

#  Load the MIME (or S/MIME) from a file:
success = mime.LoadMimeFile("edifact_smime.txt")
if (success != True):
    print mime.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

fromAddr = "admin@chilkatsoft.com"
recipient = "support@chilkatsoft.com"

#  Add email header fields to the MIME:
mime.AddHeaderField("From",fromAddr)
mime.AddHeaderField("To",recipient)
mime.AddHeaderField("Subject","Here is my EDIFACT signed and encrypted...")

#  We want a Date header with the current date/time.  The email object
#  automatically generates it.  Therefore we'll create an email object and then
#  copy the Date header:
email = chilkat.CkEmail()
dateStr = email.getHeaderField("Date")
mime.AddHeaderField("Date",dateStr)

#  It is not necessary to save the MIME to a file.
#  We're doing it here just to have a look at the .eml in a text editor...
success = mime.SaveMime("email.eml")
if (success != True):
    print mime.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Now send the MIME via SMTP:
mimeContent = mime.getMime()
success = mailman.SendMime(fromAddr,recipient,mimeContent)
if (success != True):
    print mailman.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection()

print "Mail Sent!"
