Doesn't anyone else want to answer this question !??  I think I know how 
typecast actors feel : - )


If you view the message source and you see that the encoded data is in 
fact there... i.e. a big block of characters like this, which goes on 
for several kilobytes:

...
ZW50aXR5Pj4KZW5kb2JqCjggMCBvYmoKPDwvU3VidHlwZS9JbWFnZQovQ29s
b3JTcGFjZS9EZXZpY2VHcmF5Ci9XaWR0aCAxNzI4Ci9IZWlnaHQgMTExNAov
Qml0c1BlckNvbXBvbmVudCAxCi9GaWx0ZXIvQ0NJVFRGYXhEZWNvZGUKL0Rl
...


AND you see (just a line or two above that) a line that says:

Content-Transfer-Encoding:


...then that is your problem (it should say "base64" after the colon).  
Did you run faxsetup after you installed, or since you upgraded?  If 
not, then run faxsetup, that usually corrects this.  You can also 
correct this manually, see 
http://www.hylafax.org/archive/2004-11/msg00283.html (but note that 
message should say bin/notify, not etc/notify).




If you don't even have the block of characters at all (and since you say 
the attachment is zero kb, I fear that you are in this boat), that is 
probably a different problem, for which I don't know the exact answer.  
I suspect it is something with your MIMENCODE setting (search list 
archives or FAQ for MIMENCODE or uuencode_it), the correct setting will 
depend on which encoding packages you have installed.

Hope that helps.
