Lotus Notes R4 - Personal Installation

The steps below will show you how to configure your personal Notes R4 client for PGPNotes. You must possess an ID created with the Notes Developer license in order to install PGPNotes. If your ID was created with the standard Notes Desktop license, you will not be able to complete the installation outlined below.

Installation of PGPNotes is very simple. First, you must follow the instructions below to create an updated template file based on your existing mail template file (mail45.ntf).

Add the existing mail template file to your Notes Workspace using Database... Open.
Create a new copy of the mail template by selecting it in your Notes Workspace and invoke Database...New Copy.... Give the new copy a title of PGP Mail (R4.5) and a filename of pgpmail45.ntf. Choose Database design only for the copy options.
Right-click on the new copy and select Database Properties. Under the Design tab, change the template name from StdR45Mail to PGPR45Mail. Note: Changing the template name is important as it will make the template unique. Otherwise, any changes that you make to this new template later will be replaced by the master copy on the Notes server.
Now, open the supplied template pgpnotes.ntf from the \notes\data directory and add it to the workspace.
Now, double-click on the supplied template to open it. Click on Design, then Subforms. You should see a subform called PGPNotes Plugin. Select it by single-clicking. Then choose Edit... Copy.... Return to the Notes Workspace by pressing <ESC>.
Then, double-click on PGP Mail (R4.5) to open it. Click on Design, then Subforms, followed by an Edit... Paste... operation. Note: If you have already installed the PGPNotes Plugin subform earlier, please delete it first!
If you are presented with this warning, answer Yes.
If you are presented with this warning, answer No. We want to make a distinct copy of the subform in the PGP Mail 4.5 template without linking it back to the original PGPNotes template.
If all goes well, you should see PGPNotes Plugin in your list of subforms.
Go to Forms under Design, and double-click on Memo to open it. Now, select Create... Insert Subforms....
Choose PGPNotes Plugin.
The PGP Plugin subform should be inserted right at the top of the Memo form. Do the same for the Reply and Reply With History forms.
You are now ready to use the updated template you have created. To prepare any mail database for use with the PGP Plugin, simply choose File... Database... Replace Template..., and choose the updated template you have prepared.
Remember to select Inherit future design changes when you replace the database design.
