    #  The security layers of signed and/or encrypted emails
    #  are automatically "unwrapped" when loaded into
    #  a Chilkat email object.
    #  An application only needs to check to see if an email
    #  was received signed or encrypted, and then examine
    #  the success/failure.  For example:
    if ($email.ReceivedSigned -eq $true) {

        $("This email was signed.")

        #  Check to see if the signatures were verified.
        if ($email.SignaturesValid -eq $true) {
            $("Digital signature(s) verified.")
            $("Signer: " + $email.SignedBy)

            $success = $email.LastSignerCert(0,$cert)
            if ($success -eq $false) {
                $($email.LastErrorText)
                exit
