No it hasn't been done before. The std tool-set doesn't allow you to
this by default; and if you really want to do this, a possible way
would be for you to write a script/program that prepends the faxheader
info to your fax content all into a single file and then invoking `sendfax'
with the `-n' option so that the default faxcover isn't used.

If you want the pretty formatting, graphic etc, you'll probably have to
make your fax-wrapper generate a Poscript document.
