This is what I wrote about earlier.  FaxQueuer's handling of "cover"
documents differs from that of "normal" documents.

Something like:
/usr/sbin/faxsend-wrapper:
	#!/bin/sh
	## Set SendFaxCmd: /usr/sbin/faxsend-wrapper in $SPOOL/etc/config
	## Args should be:
	## $1    "-m"
	## $2    "devXX"
	## $3    "sendq/qXXX"
	COVER=`grep cover $3 | sed ........`
	cp $COVER tmp
	exec /usr/sbin/faxsend $*

And then just look for $TMP/doc$JID.cover in notify.

I know it's a hack, but currently it's the only way to get it done.
