        // CurrentDateTime returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date,
        // including the numeric UTC offset, for example: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600
        String now = mime.getCurrentDateTime();
        System.out.println("Current date/time: " + now);

        // It can be used to populate a Date header field.
