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.) Objective-C

//  Load the .cer file into a certificate object.
//  When sending S/MIME encrypted email, it is the recipient's

//  For "aes", the key length may be 128, 192, or 256. 
//  For "3des" the key length must be 192.
