Ah, I'm sorry. html2ps is called by faxmail. 

I send a message to the faxuser I've setup with a Content-Type text/html.
In the hyla.conf file I have added a line:

  MIMEConverters:         "/usr/local/lib/fax/mail"

and I created a directory /usr/local/lib/fax/mail/text with in this
directory a symbolic link called html to /usr/bin/html2ps. When
faxmail sees a message part of type text/html it should call
/usr/local/lib/fax/mail/text/html. I am quite sure that it is actually
doing this, because if I change the procmail line to use faxmail as a
filter instead of a delivery and remove the -d on the faxmail commandline
I get a file which is a clearly a postscript file. But if I let it fax
this directly I only get a fax with a 'mail header' and an empty page
after this.
