Good for you!

Hmm. I use a web server, which gives me more control over the access
and over the declared MIME types of the files. The "faxstat" program
in the contrib directory at www.hylafax.org is not bad. If you need to
archive them in a more guaranteed viewable format than tiffg3, you
might look into using fax2ps to turn them into Postscript or tiffsplit
to split it up into plain TIFF files. But every time you translate
them into another format, expect to make the files bigger and/or lose
resolution.

Oooff. Time to get into the "notify" script and edit it appropriately.
