Here's the question that didn't find an answer at the time:

The second problem is that the Postscript attachment is scaled down and
put in the lower left corner of the faxpage in a size of about 1x1cm. I
found that this happens because textfmt (actually faxmail) adds a
PS-prologue in which a line like.

0.05 dup scale

occurs. This line causes all output to be scaled to 1/20 of the natural
size.  Since a postscript attachment is simly copied through, this scaling
applies als o to the PS file contained in the attachment that expects the
default scaling. 

Does anyone know about this problem and does perhaps anyone have a fix to
these bugs ? 


Thanks a lot
