postscript attachments show up at 5% size




hi, i'm playing with attaching postscript files and sending them through
hylafax.  when i do this, the header and body of the email come through
just fine, then i see some tiny thumbnail of the image that is supposed to
be the postscript page, in the bottom left corner of the first page.
i've tried saving the mail (with ps attachment) and running it through
faxmail (faxmail < ~/mail/sent-mail > output.ps) then using ghostscript or
solaris's pageview to view the output.  the postscript file i attached
appears in the bottom left corner, very very small (words become 1 or 2
pixels high).
i've played around with editing output.ps, and i see a line
".05 dup scale".  changing the .05 to .9 or 1 makes the attached
postscript file full page, and bumps the email header off.
changing it to 0.52 shows that it moves the header up, and gets cut in
half.

how are postscript attachments normally done?  is my postscript file
formatted to begin at the top of the page or what?  how can i have a
postscript attachment immediately following the header on the page?

also on examining the output i see two "showpage" and "end restore", this
results in an extra empty page.  (this comes up when there's an
attachment)..  any easy way to disable this?

thanks
