[hylafax-users] faxmail and blank pages

[Tony Delov <Tony.Delov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm still trying to work out why I'm getting the occasional blank page 
sent with via faxmail.
I added the "Headers: clear" and "PageHeaders:    no" to my config files.
Now I don't get the "To, From or Subject" headers any more, however I 
still get a blank page.
There seems to be a few other people with posts about this same problem, 
however, I couldn't really find any resolution to them.
As far as my problem goes, It still only happens to some faxes, where as 
from posts other people have made, they seem to happen across the board.

Once possible cause I'm considering is that I dont have any "text" mime 
converters in the "/usr/local/sbin/faxmail/" folder
Only "application" and "image".

So (correct me if i'm wrong) its not any other script handling the text 
part of the email other than faxmail?

Would this be the problem?

If it is, why would faxmail treat the emails differently? (ie. most 
without blank page and some with?)

Would it help if I did create a text filter and did nothing with the text?.

Here some examples of the emails ps files created.

1st With the email headers:
2nd after adding the "headers: clear" in the hyla conf file:
3rd One that prints OK, without and extra blank pages.

With the email headers:
