The steps below will show you how to configure your personal Notes R5 client for PGPNotes. You must possess an ID created with the Lotus Notes Designer license in order to install PGPNotes. If your ID was created with the standard Lotus Notes 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 (mail50.ntf).
|
Start Lotus Domino Designer and open your existing mail template file using File... Database... Open.
|
|
|
Create a new copy of the mail template by right-clicking on the existing mail template and selecting Database... New Copy....
|
|
|
Give the new copy a title of PGP Mail (R5.0) and a filename of pgpmail50.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 StdR50Mail to PGPR50Mail.
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 Domino server.
|
|
|
Now open the supplied template pgpnotes.ntf from the \notes\data directory using File... Database... Open....
|
|
Now, click on Resources... Subforms... in the PGPNotes template. You should see a subform called PGPNotes Plugin. Copy it to the clipboard by right-clicking on it, and select Copy.
Then, click on Resources... Subforms... in the PGP Mail (R5.0) template. Then add it to the template by selecting Edit... Paste....
Note: If you have already installed the PGPNotes Plugin subform
earlier, please delete it first!

If you are presented with this warning, answer No to this question.
We want to make a distinct copy of the subform in the PGP Mail (R5.0) template without linking it back to the original PGPNotes template.
|
|
|
If all goes well, you should see PGPNotes Plugin in your list of subforms.
|
|
|
Now, under the PGP Mail (R5.0) template, click on Forms. You should see a form called Memo.
|
|
|
Double-click on the Memo form to open it. Then, 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. Start Lotus Notes and open your personal mail database. Then select File... Database... Replace Design....
|
|
Choose the new PGP Mail (R5.0) template that you have prepared.
Remember to select Inherit future design changes when you replace the database design.
