HTML and web page tips
E-mail to Fax can fax any web page that can be
viewed in Micmsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 (by someone outside
your company or organization).
Note: When E-mail to Fax composes your web page
for faxing, it needs to know the exact location (URL) on the web
or your intranet for each component of your web page, such as graphics
and image files that your page may reference. This is acoomplished
through absolute references in your web page.
If you send a web page to someone else's email,
and that person views it in a browser, but the web page contains
relative references instead of absolute references, the receiver
will see the web page's text but not the graphics and images.
The same thing applies for sending emails through
the E-mail to Fax service.
For your web page to appear "correctly' on the
receiving fax machine, it is important that all references to images
and other files, whether located on the world wide web or on your
own intranet, are specified as absolute paths. otherwise, E-mail
to Fax will not be able to retrieve the image and graphics files
needed to complete the page, and only the text portions will appear
on the receivers fax machine. Note that the layout of the page will
stay the same, but the graphics and images will be replaced by empty
rectangles or placeholder icons.
If your page's images are stored on your intranet,
they have to be publidy viewable as well, or else E-mail to Fax
will not be able to retrieve them to fill out the page correctly.

Tip: If you send a web page through E-mail to Fax using Microsoft
Internet Explorers Send Page as E-mail option from the File menu,
MSIE will try to convert the web page's references to absolute paths
for you automatically, in versions 4.0 and up.
