I'd write a new mailer that pulls out the attachment and resubmits it to
hylafax.  Then modify notify.awk to add a "reply-to" header to redirect
everything to that mailer.  (Easy for me as I use sendmail - no idea how
to do this with other MTAs.)

That way, users would only have to reply to the email, and the mailer
would parse the information from the email/job logs and resubmit the
job.
