Decrypt P7M using PFX to get MIME

Demonstrates how to decrypt a .p7m (PKCS7) binary file using a certificate and private key from a PFX file. The result of the decryption (in this case) is MIME text that may be loaded into a Chilkat MIME object.

Note: Any type of file or data may be encrypted to produce a .p7m (PKCS7) encrypted file. This example was prompted by a customer needing to decrypt a MIME message. The final step of loading the decrypted text into a MIME object would be skipped if decrypting something other than MIME..
