Sorry, I've known all along that this was the behavior of the faxrcvd
scripts.  It was my [bad] assumption that if the image got sent somewhere
else that it wasn't needed on the HylaFAX server anymoer (as is the case in
my case).  But... I didn't write the script.

Some of us (I) archive our faxes on FaxMaster's mail client archival system.

I'll get rid of it, comment it, and document it.

I've noticed that script writers generally don't make a lot of comments
about obvious functions.  They tend to write comments about things that
explain why something's being done a certain way rather than what is being
done - since the latter should be obvious by reading the code itself.
