I'm not quite sure I understand what your describing.

Are you saying that if you have a line:
	#ofset	datatype match	result	rule
	0	string	 #!		tiff

you expect typerules (and thus faxmail/sendfax) to automatically submit
a TIFF file?  Haven't you forgotten to put the "rule" to convert the
file to the tiff?

Can you show us the rule you have in typerules, the file, and the output
of sendfax -v showing the typefules matching/handling?

What do you mean by "internal faxmail generation?   faxmail only knows
how to generate postscript, and it only does that for the text
header/body parts of emails.
