    //  When the mailman sends email, it renders the email to be sent,
    //  and then sends the rendered MIME.

    //  Instead of actually sending the email, this example will render
    //  to MIME so we can see what would be sent..

    //  We can explicitly set the Message-ID like this:
    CkMailManW_putAutoGenMessageId(mailman,FALSE);
    CkEmailW_AddHeaderField(email,L"Message-ID",L"<xyz123@abc>");

    mimeStr = CkMailManW_renderToMime(mailman,email);

    //  This is what we get:

    //  MIME-Version: 1.0
    //  Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 17:20:09 -0500
    //  Message-ID: <xyz123@abc>
