Find Certificate for Email Encryption

Demonstrates finding the recipient's certificate in the Windows certificate store and using it to send encrypted email. Lazarus Pascal

// Demonstrates using the Chilkat Pascal wrapper via the C bridge DLL.
// Builds as a console application under Lazarus (FPC) or Delphi.
