    success = FALSE;

    mailman = CkMailMan_Create();

    //  When the mailman sends email, it renders the email to be sent,
    //  and then sends the rendered MIME.

    //  Instead of actually sending the email, this example will render
    //  to MIME so we can see what would be sent..

    //  We can explicitly set the Message-ID like this:
    CkMailMan_putAutoGenMessageId(mailman,FALSE);
    CkEmail_AddHeaderField(email,"Message-ID","<xyz123@abc>");

    mimeStr = CkMailMan_renderToMime(mailman,email);
    printf("%s\n",mimeStr);

    //  This is what we get:

    //  MIME-Version: 1.0
    //  Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 17:20:09 -0500
    //  Message-ID: <xyz123@abc>

    //  test

    //  If we auto-generate...
