Send Encrypted Email with a Selected Algorithm (AES, 3DES, etc.)

Sends an encrypted email using the recipient's digital certificate from a .cer file, and chooses 3DES for the encryption algorithm. (It is also possible to send AES encrypted email w/ 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit encryption simply by setting the Pkcs7CryptAlg and Pkcs7KeyLength properties.) Node.js
