Here is what I wrote to someone else:

Well, in notify and FaxNotify (at least those found in HylaFAX+) the 
first document sent is called $files_1 and it's file-type will be 
$filetype_1.  The actual text to be used for the confirmation message is 
entirely up to you, however, the text creation of the default email is 
found in the notify_mail() function that you'll find up at the top.

So the rest is really an excersize in shell scripting (or whatever else 
you prefer to use) ... taking $files_1 of type $filetype_1 and the 
confirmation text of your choosing and producing a confirmation page 
appropriate for your needs.

I would suggest, perhaps, converting the $files_1 into TIFF, using 
tiff2ps without the -a option to get yourself the first page, 
watermarking the confirmation text ontop of it with psmark and then 
modifying notify_mail() to attach *that* file instead of the sent 
documents.

Lee.
