[hylafax-users] Faxmail and MIME Converters

["Robert A.Pickering Jr." <rpickering@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I've been reading the various HOW-TOs, FAQs, Installation and Setup 
Instructions, Man Pages, and the Hylafax-Users.
I've solved a great number of "Newbie" questions using these resources 
and the Internet at large, but I've finally gotten to a point where I 
have one remaining issue in my Faxmail implementation that I can't seem 
to solve:

Faxmail appears to be taking the Postscript that is generated by the 
MIME Converter that I've got installed (my version of an rtf2ps) and 
embedding it in the text portion that Faxmail converted to Postscript.  
This is in conflict with the Faxmail man page that states:

"If  a  script  exists  then  it  is  run  and  the  result  is  
appended to the output PostScript document."

Well, it appears that it does append it, but it hasn't closed it's 
Postscript document first.  The end of my resulting Postscript file 
looks like:

showpage grestore % Page 2 # 2 Sheet 2
%%PageTrailer
%%Trailer
%%Pages: 2
%%EOF

showpage
end restore
%%Trailer
%%Pages: 1
%%EOF

Unfortunately, when it then gets sent through sendfax, sendfax pukes on 
the PREPARE and it dies with a Ghostscript error.  However, if I move 
the second set of footers up to right before the RTF converted 
Postscript header, I can then send it through sendfax and everything 
works like it should.

I've looked around to see if there is anyway to tell faxmail that it 
should *close* the initial Postscript document before appending the 
second, but haven't found anything that would seem to work.

I know this isn't a widely used feature of Hylafax (based on readings 
and findings), however, I'm so close to having everything work, I'd 
hate to have to write a Faxmail replacement just for this problem.  The 
MIME Converters are getting called, I'm able to format the headers on 
the resulting fax, and I'm even able to pass directives through the 
email headers.  I love it, but alas it's not quite working.

Anyone have any ideas?

-Rob
