flexfax: Faxmail bug with attachments

["Campbell, Peter K" <PCampbel@vtrlmel1.telstra.com.au>]

I've now got faxmail working with Hylafax v4.0p12 on a Sun box
> running SunOS 5.6 (thanks for the ff00 exit status clue, David -
eventually found my batch file had #/bin/csh vs #!/bin/csh which was
the problem with no images coming out).

I've set up netpbm & the jpeg distribution & currently have it working
with gifs & jpegs.  However, there is one problem - the first attachment
does not display.  It's there in the postscript output, but effectively
invisible - I eventually worked out that the way to fix this is to add a
"showpage" to the postscript before the first attachment (others are
fine, the netpbm stuff automatically adds showpage at the end of
each).

I think this is a bug in Hylafax, with some coded needed to be added
to faxmail.c++ in the faxmail subdirectory - probably in formatMIME
so that the first time formatWithExternal is called a showpage is
added.

Anyone else noticed this problem?  For that matter, anyone else
actually tried using faxmail to send image attachments with
Hylafax?
