Gonna test an html2ps setup I got going last night, but how do you guys do it?  Sending text-only mail, or html-formatted with magic on the HylaFax side to make it parse Outlook-formatted HTML in such a way as to be acceptable to HylaFax?

I do the same ... plain text only and/or PDF, we tell our employees
not to use HTML formatted emails when sending faxes. And if they want
fancy stuff we encourage them to use OpenOffice and export to PDF.. or
they can use our "PDF Printer" we installed where they can print
anything out to a PDF.

It's not so limited when you think about it and most people get used
to it after a short period of time.
