I'd suggest she does not use PGP 6.5.8 from NAI, since there are some security issues with it, and it doesn't handle GnuPG keys well (constant error messages). I know its anathema on this list, but the version of PGP 6.5.8 that does cover these issues is PGP 6.5.8ckt Build 6 from http://www.ipgpp.com (then look in Quick CKT Downloads). Its freeware, and includes PGPdisk and the authors own version of PGP-ICQ. There is a Lotus plugin for PGP 6.5.8 and you may be able to get it from http://www.pgpi.com , although I think from memory PGP 6.5.8ckt Build 6 has a plugin for Lotus. Another avenue for you is to get GnuPGShell or WinPT which will allow you to use the Windows version of GnuPG with any mailer. GnuPGShell is perhaps the most mature of those, but WinPT is open source. From http://www.winpt.org and http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/54555.shtml Failing that, get a GnuPG compatible Windows mailer. Becky (which I use) has a GnuPG plugin and you could look at the Bat!.
