I use procmail, 
(but dont use gnupg much 'cept occasionaly for customers,
 hence lurker status ;-)
Seems a puzzling/ badly/ inadequately phrased question from Stormer.
- Normaly one _en_crypts before sending
- Whereas one uses procmail on receipt.
- But POP3 implies local incoming account, else how would one know what
  protocol another recipient uses to collect.
- Stormer talks of "sent to > a particular" rather than "received by .."
Puzzling.

Maybe Stormer means oungoing from private net, somehow wanting to
call procmail on a proxy or relay before heading out over net ?  Or
he or she could mean other things.   Question best re-defined & re-posted.

PS man procmail:
              <procmail-users at procmail.org>
                     for submitting questions/answers.
              <procmail-users-request at procmail.org>
                     for subscription requests.

       If  you  would  like  to  stay informed about new versions and official
       patches send a subscription request to
              procmail-announce-request at procmail.org
       (this is a readonly list).

Cheers,
Julian
