Is there anyway to send faxes to someone's email address?
Likewise, is there any way for people to send to your email address?
Many thanks,
Herb

Hi Herb:
You want to know how to send a fax to an email address.

Solution:

Make sure the image you wish to email is in a graphic file format.

If you have already sent or received the fax, the fax will appear in
your Send or Receive Log.
If you have not sent or received the fax, open the document in its
original application, print the document to WinFax, and place it on
hold. The image appears in the Outbox.

Double click the fax. The fax image appears in the Fax Viewer.
Choose Export from the File menu. The Export dialog box appears.
Type a name in the Filename field.
Choose the appropriate file format for the file. We recommend TIFF or
BMP.
Choose the correct page range from the Options section.
Make a note of the file name and the folder where the file is being
saved.
Click Export. The Fax image is exported as a graphic image file.
In your email program, send the graphic file you saved in steps 1-8 as
a file attachment. Consult your email program documentation for
information on sending file attachments.

The recipient will receive the graphic as an attachment, which can be
viewed using any graphics program. For example, you can view *.BMP
files in Windows Paintbrush or MS Paint.
