Monitor and Cancel a Running DKIM Operation

Demonstrates the Chilkat Dkim.HeartbeatMs and Dkim.AbortCurrent properties, which monitor and cancel a long-running operation such as a DNS public-key lookup. HeartbeatMs sets how often an AbortCheck event fires, and AbortCurrent requests cancellation.

Background: Most Dkim work is instant, but anything touching DNS can stall on a slow or unresponsive server. HeartbeatMs makes the object emit a periodic AbortCheck callback during such calls so an application stays responsive and can show progress, and AbortCurrent — set from that callback or from another thread — breaks a blocked synchronous call out early. Together they turn an otherwise uninterruptible operation into a cancellable one.
