Forwarding a mail as a fax using Applescript and Mail

Question

I am using the Mac's fax function and that works just great. I would, however, like to make an Applescript that gets called from a Mail rule. For example, when the Subject is something like: "FAX:12345679", the rule should take the fax number from the subject and use it to fax the attachment via the fax-modem printer.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

To answer your question, I don't think that there is a way to use AppleScript with the Mac fax function. I am able to create a script which grabs attachments, but I can't find a way to hook into the fax function, without using a 3rd party faxing app. Sorry, I thought there was a way.
