You know, I can't imagine any client-side environment where you could
view a PDF file where you *couldn't* view a TIFF file directly, with
about the same about of "install-a-plugin" labor at worst.

I haven't seen the new faxrcvd script you mention in person, but can
someone explain to me whyinhell you'd bother?  Just attach the TIFF
directly...
