function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

    var email = new chilkat.Email();

    // Load a .eml file into the email object.
    success = email.LoadEml("/home/users/chilkat/eml/myEml.eml");

    var dtTime = new chilkat.CkDateTime();
    dtTime.SetFromRfc822(email.EmailDateStr);

    // Once we have the CkDateTime object, we can get the date/time in many different formats:

    // Get as a RFC822 GMT string:
    var bLocalTime = false;
    console.log(dtTime.GetAsRfc822(bLocalTime));

    // Get as an RFC822 string in the local timezone.
    // (remember, the daylight savings that existed at the given time in the past is applied)
    bLocalTime = true;
    console.log(dtTime.GetAsRfc822(bLocalTime));

    // Get as a 32-bit UNIX time (local or GMT..)
    // The Unix time is number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). 
    var unixTime = dtTime.GetAsUnixTime(bLocalTime);
    console.log("Unix time: " + unixTime);

    // One can also get the as a "DtObj" object for accessing the individual
    // parts of the date/time, such as month, day, year, hour, minute, etc.
    // The DtObj can be obtained in the GMT or local timezone:
    var dtObj = new chilkat.DtObj();
    dtTime.ToDtObj(bLocalTime,dtObj);

    if (dtTime.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
        console.log("This should never really happen!");
        return;
    }

    console.log(dtObj.Day + "-" + dtObj.Month + "-" + dtObj.Year + " " + dtObj.Hour + ":" + dtObj.Minute
         + ":" + dtObj.Second);
