See

and its follow-ups.

JPEG/GIF/PNG really aren't good black-on-white file formats.  TIFF, PS, and
PDF are much better choices for viewing.

See:
http://www.hylafax.org/howto/delivery.html

All of the above discuss fax-to-email delivery.  If you want the recvq/*
files to be converted themselves, then you will need to do some custom
modification of the faxrcvd script, probably utilizing the methods used in
the scripts linked above.

I find it hard to believe that the clients cannot utilize Acrobat Reader
since they're using Netscape, at least, to view the images in a more
sensible way.
