Remove a MIME Header Field

Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.RemoveHeaderField method, which removes header fields whose name matches case-insensitively. The first argument is the field name and the second (bAllOccurrences) selects whether to remove all matches or only the first. It is a void method.

Note: The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the path to your own file.

Background: Stripping headers is common when reprocessing a message — removing spam-scoring X- headers, clearing an old Content-Length before re-serializing, or deleting routing headers before forwarding. The all-occurrences flag matters for headers that can repeat: pass true to purge every instance, or false to drop just the first.
