This has been discussed in detail numerous times in the last few months 
on this list and are undoubtedly available in the archives now.

Basically the 4.4.x releases eliminated MIMEConverters in favor of using 
typerules.  This made HTML conversion much, much more difficult for 
faxmail (if not impossible).

HylaFAX+ releases still support MIMEConverters and thus HTML conversion 
is easily done.

With HylaFAX+ pay attention to the default-installed MIMEConverters on 
the system. Basically, you probably want to create a new MIMEConverter 
for html. If you installed from source code you'd create a file, 
/usr/local/lib/fax/faxmail/text/html, and in that file you would put:

#! /bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/html2ps $1
exit

And, of course you'd need to have html2ps installed in /usr/local/bin.

The paths will be different if you installed from RPM or something.

Thanks,

Lee.
