That top line is part of the image data that is sent by the sender.  So 
as far as faxgetty is concerned, it's just a bunch of black and white 
dots... it doesn't become words and other meaningful information until 
your brain sees those dots and makes sense of it.

It would certainly be possible to use an optical character recognition 
program such as gOCR to read this and do something with it, such as 
placing it in the e-mail body.  That's an excersize that's left up to 
the admin, though.  :-)

I suspect that the tagline will generally be one of the few parts that 
will reliably be decipherable with OCR.  The rest of the fax image, with 
skew and other distortions will be more difficult for OCR to pull out.
