MIME CurrentDateTime Property

Demonstrates the read-only CurrentDateTime property, which returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date including the numeric UTC offset. The example uses it to populate a Date header field.

Background. Internet message dates follow the RFC 5322 format, for example Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600. CurrentDateTime produces a value in that form for use in message headers.
