Ahhhh....
That's the problem.

I have another question.  Is there a way to get sendfax to send only the
cover page?  Sometime we only need to send a cover page and nothing
else.  If you don't give sendfax a filename, it tries to read one from
stdin.  If you don't give it a valid filename, it complains.

For now I am using faxcover to generate the cover page, and then pass
that file to sendfax.
