You'll need to write a "faxmail replacement" that accepts mail from 
your MTA and then submits it to hfaxd (e.g. scripted sendfax).  This 
isn't hard to do.  You can find a procmail example on the HylaFAX HOWTO.

You'll need to teach that process how to handle your HTML.  Whether you 
use html2ps or whatever, it doesn't matter, but in the end you'll need 
to submit TIFF, PDF, or PostScript to hfaxd.  If you look in the recent 
archives you will find others who have altered typerules (for sendfax) 
to use html2ps when dealing with HTML parts.
