Yes.  I was a bit misleading in my last comments.  The server does know 
that it's a cover sheet.  The server doesn't know the contents of the 
cover sheet, however.  I didn't remember that the server deletes the 
cover sheets.  I suppose that it does.  In that case you'd either need 
to alter faxq from deleting the cover sheet, or get WHFC to mark the 
"cover sheet" as just another document rather than specifying it as the 
cover sheet.

Depending on the approach you want to take.  The issue you're having is 
more of a conflict against the data-flow design that the original 
HylaFAX creator envisoned.  Apparently he didn't think that the cover 
sheet had any archival value.  I've seen numerous people in the past 
years, however, that feel otherwise.
