Problem with simple mail2fax routine

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I have been trying to work up a simple mail to fax routine using .forward. It 
is looking promising, but when I route the mail into faxspool, I get errors 
like:

spooling to /var/spool/fax/outgoing/F000010...
spooling /tmp/faxfile...
/tmp/faxfile: cannot determine file format (extend source)

I have looked at the mail and it does  have _ (Hex 5F) and backspace before 
each letter in the headers (I've seen this before in some documentation eg 
dosemu). Would this cause the problem? Also, I've tried to strip them out with 
Perl, but without success. If  this is  needed and someone can advise the perl 
needed I would appreciate it.
