Hello Albert,

I use version 4.2.1, so you have to check if it's still the same in  
your version of the scripts.

This is only possible for documents you have sent. When you receive a  
fax you may have the values in the cover page image but not in usable  
form. (You could use OCR, but that's not a reliable solution.)

Notify is the right place but the values you need are not available in  
the default script.

The script has a function parseQfile() which extracts all values from  
the Q-file to shell variables. This function does not include all  
values present in the Q-file.
Look at a Q-file and find the values you need, for example "company",  
"regarding", "comments", and add these to the AWK script in function  
parseQfile().
Then you will have variables you can use to create the mail message in  
notify.
