Robert,
Your message is very clear. I'm not a faxmail expert, however, it
would seem to me, then that somewhere in the faxmail code this is
happening:
- begin file
- begin postscript for message text
- produce postscript for message text
- include postscript for MIME parts
- end postscript for message text
- end file
When it should be doing:
- begin file
- begin postscript for message text
- produce postscript for message text
- end postscript for message text
- include postscript for MIME parts
- end file
If you're capable of doing a bit of code debugging yourself, it
wouldn't seem that difficult to learn how faxmail works enough to fix
this.
In any case, I suggest that you hang your message onto the HylaFAX
Bugzilla.
Lee.
