Re: [hylafax-users] mail to fax with html email

I've never used hylafax.org 6.0.x versions enough to say for-certain, but I thought that the MIMEConverters support was returned to faxmail for the 6.0.0 release... I can't say for-sure, though, because I don't know for-sure. I do know that it was taken from the 4.4.x releases as it was considered obsolete by typerules.

HylaFAX+ has always retained the MIMEConverters functionality for the exact reason you bring up. For example, you can create a "text/html" MIME converter and simply discard that part (which would assume, therefore, that you don't ever mean to fax HTML attachments) or you can attempt to handle them with the various html2ps tools.

Thanks,

Lee.

Has anyone found a way to prevent html source from being sent when using email to fax with an html client, or is this something I need hylafax+ for?

The PDF and Tiff converters are required, they are just already set up. Check your /etc/hylafax/faxmail directory (that’s where they were for me) and you should have the PDF tiff and octet-stream converters there. You just need to create the html one.

You also need to point to the converters using your faxmail.conf file.

So the article says it only applies to earlier versions of hylafax, and that faxmail hands these formats natively. Did that change only apply to tiff and pdf attachment conversion, and not html? Tiff and pdf currently work as expected for me, without having setup a converter. Making a converter isn’t a problem, I just want to be sure it won’t throw errors on tiff and pdf attachment conversion, which works fine now.

You need to set up an HTML mimetype converter. The proper method is indicated here:

When sending mail to fax using postfix, hylafax+ 5.4.2, and mail2fax, I get the body of the email and the html formatting.

For example, if my email body is “test 1”, the fax cover looks like this:

Test 1

<html>

<header>

<body>

<Test 1 </b>>

</body>

</header>

</html>

Anyone know a way to remove the html part and just get the body? Perhaps tweaking to the mail2fax.sh script?
