I've not actually tried this out yet, so YMMV, but I'm hoping it works
so I can do something similar here....
Postscript files are ASCII rather than binary, so you can manipulate
them fairly easily if you know where to look. It may well be that you
can create a nice fax template as a Postscript file and then regexp in
the headers/body as necessary.

It's a fairly sparse introduction, but the post that got me thinking
about this approach was:

Check out your hyla.conf (in /etc/hylafax/ here) for "Notify: Done", it
may well be commented out. That will make Hylafax send an email with the
result of every fax, succeed or fail.
