Hello Jaap,

how did you create the cover page?

The faxcover program does not automatically use blank space on the  
cover page but relies on PostScript code that prints the comments on  
this space.

The default cover page on Debian seems to be created directly in  
PostScript. You can look at it and modify it as you like. It's easy to  
understand (if you know some PostScript), not like a document created  
by a printer driver or conversion program.


How do you submit your fax jobs and what do you mean with "message  
body"?

I don't think Hylafax itself has a mechanism to continue the comments  
on a second page if it doesn't fit on the cover page.
Your message will either be printed as comments on the cover page (and  
truncated if it does not fit) or as your real document following the  
cover page.
