[hylafax-users] Can't send e-mail attachment as fax



Hello,

The problem I ran into is that, no mater the mail body is empty or not, only
the content of the body can send as fax and that the attachment is replaced
by the code <!DOCTYPE HTML .......>

Can anyone help me out !!!

Best Regard,
wkpoon

Hi,

I ran into the same problem. As I noticed from a look at the faxmail 
code, the behaviour is as follows:
- if the mail body is not empty, the body is sent whether there is an 
attachment or not;
- if there is no body but only an attachment, the attachment is sent.

I don't know what the rationale behind this is, but tweaking the code to 
send the attachment when the body is not empty should not be too difficult.
