Yes, but it didn't initially work for me -- I've forgotten why -- and
so I got sidetracked reading about procmail and .forward (which was
a red herring as it's not needed), and found some other things that
didn't work. Eventually I got it right and it works as advertised
(getting old and losing one's memory is a bitch).

Reading PGP-Notes.txt was the first thing that I did. The problem
was that procmail didn't work -- the recipe provided was fine.

Another thing that I'd forgotten. :( Thanks.

That's exactly the position I'm in. The recipient's employer dictates
using Lotus Notes internally.

Nym servers, yes. Oh joy, Yet Another Program to configure. If my
memory gets any worse I'm going to have to slink back to Windows
where this stuff just works (Potato (DOS) or Jack B. Nymble (Win95+)).

I'll stop whining now.

Thanks for the help.
