	In faxrcvd make these changes where it is MIME attaching the
postscript file

    if [ -n "$SENDTO" ]; then
	(MIMEBOUNDARY="NextPart$$"
	 echo "Mime-Version: 1.0"
	 echo "Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; Boundary=\"$MIMEBOUNDARY\""
	 echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit"
	 echo "To: $SENDTO"
	 echo "From: The HylaFAX Receive Agent <fax>"
	 echo "Subject: facsimile received from $SENDER";
	 echo ""
	 echo "--$MIMEBOUNDARY"
	 echo "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii"
	 echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit"
	 echo ""
	 echo "$FILE (ftp://$HOSTNAME:$PORT/$FILE):"; $INFO -n $FILE
	 echo "ReceivedOn: $DEVICE"
	 if [ "$MSG" ]; then
	    echo ""
	    echo "The full document was not received because:"
	    echo ""
	    echo "    $MSG"
	    echo ""
	    echo "    ---- Transcript of session follows ----"
	    echo ""
	    if [ -f log/c$COMMID ]; then
		$SED -e '/-- data/d' \
		     -e '/start.*timer/d' -e '/stop.*timer/d' \
		     log/c$COMMID
	    elif [ -n "$COMMID" ]; then
		echo "    No transcript available (CommID c$COMMID)."
	    else
		echo "    No transcript available."
	    fi
	 else
	    echo "CommID:     c$COMMID (ftp://$HOSTNAME:$PORT/log/c$COMMID)"
	 fi
	 echo ""
	 echo "--$MIMEBOUNDARY"
 	 echo "Content-Type: application/fax; name=${FILE#$RECVQ}"
	 echo "Content-Description: FAX document"
 	 echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
	 echo ""
 	 $MIMENCODE $FILE
	 echo ""
	 echo "--$MIMEBOUNDARY--"
	) | 2>&1 $SENDMAIL -ffax -oi $SENDTO

	at the top define

	MIMENCODE=/usr/bin/mimencode

	mimencode is widely available (I forget where I found it)

	This properly includes the tiff file as a MIME attachment in the
mail message.

	Then any e.g Windows client can open it with the Windows Imaging
program that comes bundled in accessories.
