Re: Restarting failed fax job?

[David Nesting <david@texas.net>]

In short: recreate the fax entirely?  Is there no better way?  All of
the job information (including destination and document(s)) is stored
in the doneq (until it is purged).

Presently, I am presenting all of our employees with a WWW-based listing
of all faxes in the sendq, and the last ten faxes in the doneq.  I'd like
to give them a button to "re-send" a fax listed in the doneq.

If the only way to do this is by recreating the fax from scratch, I can
work with that..
