I'm not the first.  Please see->

That's where i got the idea from so I can just click and view.  :)
Surprising in more ways than one; it has worked in the manner described above in
past installs, now it doesn't.

I have attempted this with whfc.  When doing so; i don't get the errors from
syslogd neither does the selected fax open in the app i chose to view that fax
The viewing app does open.

The above definetly makes sense, perhaps IE-5.x is acting up or i changed a
value during my last frustration fit.  Thanks for that train of thought.  I will
look at the IE-5.x settings

Something that is still of a concern is the following:
~/config.cuaa1
RecvFileMode:           0644
-
yet my recvq's contents yield ....
-
ls -l /var/spool/fax/recvq
total 40
-rw-r--r--  1 uucp  dialer  25724 Jun 14 14:36 fax00047.tif
-rw-r--r--  1 uucp  dialer  12774 Jun 14 23:21 fax00052.tif
-rw-------  1 uucp  dialer      2 Jun 14 23:20 seqf

I have to chmod any file I want to view as a normal user from a windows box.
From what I understand, this shouldn't be with the RecvFileMode:  set.  Should
it?
