Chilkat does not use OpenSSL and is not affected by the Heartbleed bug.
Chilkat MHT: GetEmail, GetMime, HtmlToEmail Methods Removed
Chilkat MHT methods that returned either an email object or a MIME object were removed in the v9.5.0 release. The reason for this was to decouple the internal dependencies between these objects. In some environments, such as for iOS, the size of the resultant executable can be important, and the internal linking between these objects increases the size. The decision […]

Understanding EncryptStringENC and DecryptStringENC in Python and C/C++
Chilkat provides API’s that are identical across a variety of different programming languages. One difficulty in doing this is in handling strings. Different programming languages pass strings in different ways. In some programming languages, such as Python or C/C++, a “string” is simply a sequence of bytes terminated by a null. (I’m referring to “multibyte” strings, not Unicode (utf-16) strings. […]
Email “Received” Headers
When an email is sent, it should contain no “Received” header fields. Each time the email is processed by a mail server along the delivery route, a new Received header field is prepended to the email. The very first Received header is added by the SMTP server that the SMTP client (such as your app or a program such as […]
