I've done brief testing of exmh-2.1.1, and installed a launch
script for it into the outland locker.  One thing it does do is
support pgp5.  (It may have the restriction that users must have
a pgp5 keyring before exmh will try to use pgpv on incoming
messages.  I didn't test enough to nail it down.)

If any recipients of this mail feel like testing the new version,
you can run "exmh-2.1.1" from the outland locker.  If things seem
to be okay, I can make this the default exmh.

(This mail assumes that I completed the changes to the sipb
locker in time to beat the nightly AFS release.)
